Good News Foundation

The Good News Foundation is dedicated to promoting true networking among the women involved in the Los Angeles television news market. Through these connections, the Foundation will make a meaningful difference in the lives of people in need and at-risk in greater Los Angeles—while at the same time delivering a positive environment where women of like minds, professions and ambitions—can come together for purposes that are truly ‘good news’ worthy.

‘CLEAN SWEEPS’ CLOTHING DRIVE
ANNUAL EVENT THE FIRST WEEK OF APRIL

As soon as the February Sweeps are over, The Good News Foundation encourages the women of Los Angeles Television News to clean out their closets—and give those old anchor suits and reporter clothes new life by donating them to Dress 4 Success in our annual ‘Clean Sweeps’ Clothing Drive. In an attempt to make it easier to take the clothes off our backs and get them onto their racks, each television station has agreed to setvaside some space ‘perfectly suited’ to place the professional wardrobe pieces during our annual collection week.

The Dress 4 Success organization is well-known for providing suits to women returning to or entering the workforce. Each person who walks through their program receives one suit when she has a job interview—and additional apparel when she becomes employed. Although their mission has expanded, the suiting program remains a crucial part of their work and a vital first-step in a disadvantaged woman's journey toward self-sufficiency.

We just couldn’t think of a better way to un-load and give-back all at the same time… and we believe our long-term partnership with Dress 4 Success is a ‘perfect fit’! Read More
