FREMONT, Calif., July 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- As Men's
Wearhouse continues its 11th annual Suit Drive throughout July, the
company is teaming up with football star Chris Long to collect donations of gently-used
professional attire for unemployed Americans. Attire collected at
Men's Wearhouse stores through July
31st will be distributed to more than 150 local non-profit
organizations across the country that help disadvantaged
individuals regain employment through job readiness programs and
workforce assistance.
As a competitive athlete and leader on the field, Long knows
that being prepared is key to accomplishing goals. "Training for
the upcoming season, I can personally relate to the feeling of
empowerment when you suit up for a day on the field," said Long.
"When you're getting ready for a job interview, it's similar to
preparing for a game – you need to approach it with a positive,
confident attitude. By donating to the Men's Wearhouse Suit Drive,
you're helping people head into their next interview with the right
mindset to score the job."
Men's Wearhouse is also partnering with both the National
Basketball Coaches Association (NBCA) and the National Hockey
League Coaches Association (NHLCA) to generate awareness for the
Men's Wearhouse Suit Drive. Coaches including Steve Kerr (Golden State Warriors), Kenny Atkinson (Brooklyn Nets), Fred Hoiberg (Chicago Bulls), Rick Carlisle (Dallas Mavericks), John Stevens (Los Angeles Kings), Jeff Blashill (Detroit Red Wings) and others
have committed to donating suits of their own.
"Our strength as a team helped us win the championship this
year, and we want to use that same team mentality to rally our
communities to come out and support the Men's Wearhouse Suit Drive
this July," said Coach Steve Kerr,
head coach of the Golden State Warriors. "This continues to be an
important cause for the NBCA, and we hope our fans will join us in
helping Americans put their best foot forward as they seek
employment."
Over the past ten years, the Men's Wearhouse Suit Drive has
collected more than 1.6 million items of professional clothing.
People can donate their gently-used professional clothing,
including men's and women's suits, ties, jackets, shirts, pants,
belts and shoes at more than 750 Men's Wearhouse locations across
the country. As a thank you, donors will receive 50 percent off
their next purchase of regular priced retail items (excluding
shoes, clearance, custom and Exceptional Value items).
"We're proud to support the Men's Wearhouse Suit Drive for the
second year in a row," said Gerard
Gallant, head coach of the Vegas Golden Knights. "It is a
privilege to partner with Men's Wearhouse and call upon our fellow
coaches, fans and players to donate towards this life-changing
cause."
