Goodwill’s Little Black Dress Event to Help Veterans in a Time of Need
Portland — Goodwill Industries of Northern New England will hold its second annual Little Black Dress Event on Thursday, April 25, from 6 to 9 pm at The Ocean Gateway (14 Ocean Gateway Pier, Portland). It is an evening that celebrates everyone’s favorite little black dress, while raising funds to benefit veterans and their families.
The event will feature hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, live music from The Wetsuits and live and silent auction items. Goodwill will also feature a boutique store, where guests will have the opportunity to pick up affordable jewelry, shawls, handbags and other accessories.
Proceeds will help Goodwill meet the needs of veterans and their families. Together, with a committee of veterans and other experts, we are working to help these families meet immediate needs, connect to available resources and move forward.
Tickets for the event are $35 each or 2 for $60 and are available online at www.goodwillnne.org or by calling (207) 774-6323.
