Puffs believes every woman deserves to look in the mirror with confidence and feel beautiful. To show support for that belief, Puffs is hosting a community on their Facebook page where people can share their inspiring words on how they put their best face forward every day. Participation in the conversation will give fans the opportunity to donate to Dress for Success and make them eligible to win prizes.
"Like Puffs, Dress for Success aims to help women get a fresh new start in both work and in life," said Laura Dressman, Puffs communications manager. "We're proud to partner with such an uplifting organization and are happy to offer a day of beauty to deserving women here in Chicago. We also hope that fans everywhere will visit our Facebook page to help us honor the beauty in all women."
Puffs tissues have always been what people reach for when suffering from cold and allergy symptoms, but Puffs are designed with your entire face in mind. Whether caring for a cold, applying makeup, or blotting away perspiration, Puffs looks to tackle all of the things your face has to face throughout the day. This is the brand's second makeover event for this program, with the finale event taking place in New York City.
"Dress for Success helps provide women with the confidence and tools they need to transform their lives both personally and professionally," said Maggie Schutz, Development Manager of Dress for Success Chicago. "By partnering with Puffs, we know our clients left Chicago Avenue Salon with the confidence they need to put their best face forward as they re-enter the workforce."
Now through October 12th, a tab on the Puffs Facebook page will allow people to upload their inspirational quotes, tips and stories on how they put their best face forward every day. As fans submit their tip, Puffs will donate a minimum of $100,000 to Dress for Success Worldwide to help promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women. Also, with every entry, fans will be entered into a sweepstakes to win one of 60 Procter & Gamble beauty baskets as well as a grand prize trip to New York City for a beauty makeover.
Each submission will be hosted on a gallery within the tab where Puffs fans can gain confidence through the inspiring words of others in their community. The brand will post weekly themes to spark ideas, but fans are encouraged to post their own quotes, tips or stories that show support of the Puffs Facebook community and the women of Dress for Success.
