Las Vegas Sands on Tuesday contributed $100,000 through the Sands Cares global community engagement program to Dress for Success Southern Nevada.
Dress for Success provides professional styling, job readiness, career coaching and financial literacy programs for disadvantaged women to pursue economic independence through job search and skills development resources.
“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,” DFS Southern Nevada Executive Director Roxann McCoy said in a statement. “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, including multiple generations, and a large number of single mothers. More than 50% of clients report living below the poverty line, and 77% have reported confronting systemic barriers and disparities.
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.
“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,” said Sands Senior Vice President of Global Communications and Corporate Affairs Ron Reese. “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.”
The 2025 Sands Cares funding supports job readiness initiatives such as expansion of digital skills education; investment in software for job application processes for resumes and interview preparation software and career assessment tools; facility upgrades to provide increased privacy for client coaching and training sessions; 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.
The Sands Cares investment also supports DFS Southern Nevada’s Styling for Success program, providing clients with personalized suiting and styling services in which they receive interview and work attire to instill the self-assurance and professionalism crucial for successful job searches.
Also, the Sands Cares contribution 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 for continued learning.
DFS Southern Nevada is the Las Vegas-area affiliate of the international Dress for Success organization, which empowers women to achieve economic independence through a network of support, professional attire and developmental tools to thrive in work and life.
