Dress for Success SW Florida will host its first ever “Haute Holiday Tea” at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point and Spa on Sunday, Dec. 4 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Executive chef Andreas Singer will deliver a gourmet-plated brunch and the Wisteria Tea Room will provide specialty teas. The event, which also includes a silent auction, will benefit both Lee and Collier county programs for women who are disadvantaged, unemployed and underemployed needing interview clothing and tips, resume preparation, mentoring and job placement.
“Our ‘Haute Holiday Tea’ is the perfect excuse to gather a group to celebrate the holidays and experience a fabulous event for a great cause. One hundred percent of the net proceeds will benefit deserving women in our community,” said Dress for Success SW Florida CEO, Barbara Dell.
Guests will be treated to live entertainment and holiday favorites by popular jazz trio, “Apollo’s Phonograph” while having the opportunity to bid on more than 30 luxury silent auction items. Items include stunning jewelry by The Diamond District, tickets to the Opera Naples, a weekend stay at the 4-diamond Hyatt Regency Orlando, White House Black Market gift card and fashion accessories, tickets to Universal Studios Orlando, a Portrait Couture Makeover Experience with Megan DiPiero Photography and much more.
