There’s no better way to celebrate an 85th year anniversary than with an unforgettable event! On August 20th, Goodwill hosted its first annual Work The Runway event, held at Oklahoma Contemporary. The night unraveled with Goodwill Industries of Central Oklahoma President and CEO Jim Priest explaining Goodwill’s mission – to provide jobs to those with challenges to employment. Next was an unforgettable fashion show where Goodwill employees and local social media influencers were the models. There was incredible food and an open bar that guests could enjoy all evening.
Good Threads Boutique, a new high-end Goodwill store sold items including designer clothing, purses, and more. Oklahoma DJs Carte Blanche performed at the benefit of providing quality sounds. There were a few other activities such as screen printing by local store Shop Good and photos with OKC Thunder’s Rumble the bison.
The event raised nearly $200,000 with the proceeds going toward operations of the new Mobile Employment Services Center and Goodwill Career Pathways Institute. Goodwill’s new mobile unit allows the organization to go to communities that lack job support and help Oklahomans apply for jobs and get free access to computers and the internet.
