Dressember at the University of Virginia

Club Description

As an extension of the national Dressember campaign, Dressember at UVA is committed to working to prevent human trafficking through awareness and fundraising: both channel into rescuing victims and providing aftercare programs to survivors. Members of Dressember at UVA fall into two categories: (1) participants are members that participate in the national Dressember campaign by vowing to wear a dress and/or tie throughout the entire month of December to advocate for survivors (2) supporters are members that do not vow to wear a dress and/or tie every day of December, but support participant's efforts through involvement in events, set up, and fundraisers. Dressember at UVA works to raise $6,719.00 (the cost of a full rescue operation) annually and grow to spread impact year to year.
