The $100,000 Sands Cares
contribution underwrites organizational capacity building to enable
services for unemployed and underemployed women.
LAS
VEGAS, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Las Vegas
Sands (NYSE: LVS) has contributed $100,000 through the Sands Cares global community
engagement program to Dress for Success® (DFS) Southern Nevada for its professional styling,
job readiness, career coaching and financial literacy programs,
which empower disadvantaged women to pursue economic independence
through a variety of job search and skills development
resources.
The 2025 Sands Cares donation continues capacity-building
support for DFS Southern Nevada's transformative offerings,
enabling the organization to aid clients through its Styling for
Success personalized suiting and styling service; job readiness,
career coaching and mentorship resources; and financial and digital
literacy programs.
For its ongoing support of DFS Southern Nevada, Sands was
honored with the organization's Community Impact Award at the 2025
Vintage Glamour and Grace Champagne Success Showcase Luncheon on
May 1.
"Sands has helped bolster our capabilities over the years,
enabling us to serve women in Southern
Nevada with professionalism and critical career tools so
they can gain the essential skills and confidence to pursue
successful futures," Roxann McCoy,
executive director of DFS Southern Nevada, said. "Sands understands
the cumulative impact of our workforce development programs, which
enable women to break the cycle of poverty by preparing them for
sustainable employment."
Since its founding in 2009, DFS Southern Nevada has helped more
than 13,000 women encompassing multiple generations and including a
large portion of single mothers. More than 50% of clients report
living below the poverty line, and 77% have reported confronting
systemic barriers and disparities.
The 2025 Sands Cares funding is supporting job readiness
initiatives such as expansion of digital skills education;
investment in software for job application processes such as resume
builders, interview preparation software and career assessment
tools; facility upgrades to provide increased privacy for client
coaching and training sessions; Career Center hardware and software
resources for in-person mentorship and training sessions; and group
learning, networking and mentorship opportunities with major
industries in the Las Vegas Valley.
In addition, the Sands Cares investment supports DFS Southern
Nevada's signature Styling for Success program, which provides
clients with personalized suiting and styling services in which
they receive interview and work attire to instill the
self-assurance and professionalism that is crucial for successful
job searches.
Finally, the Sands Cares contribution also supports the
organization's financial and digital literacy programs, which aim
to close knowledge gaps. Online and in-person courses cover
financial topics such as budgeting, saving, investing, debt
management and home ownership. The digital literacy course covers
topics ranging from office software training to social media
etiquette, and clients receive laptops when they complete the
course to aid with their continued learning.
"Our partnership with DFS Southern Nevada is in complete sync
with our priority on workforce development and empowering
unemployed and underemployed women to achieve a pathway to
self-sufficiency and success," Ron Reese, senior vice
president of global communications and corporate affairs, said.
"The organization has transformed so many lives, not only the women
served by DFS Southern Nevada but their entire families, and we see
our Sands Cares support as an investment in continued strengthening
of a model that has proven impact in our community."
