In order to raise awareness about these issues and raise funds to further our mission, we will each wear the same black dress from September 23-27 and ask that friends, family members and colleagues sponsor us on this journey. Through wearing the same black dress for five days and wearing a pin that reads “Ask Me About My Dress”, we hope to use the iconic LBD to invite dialogue among our colleagues, friends and strangers about this important initiative, as well as let our community know what  the JLJ is doing to combat the effects of poverty.
