Six-Year Partnership Continues with $100,000 Donation and Luncheon Honoring Gloria Steinem
NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ARM & HAMMER™ Laundry is proud to return for the second consecutive year as a President’s Circle Sponsor of Dress for Success Worldwide’s signature Women Who Inspire Luncheon, taking place on September 30, 2026, at Tribeca 360 in New York City. The sponsorship marks the sixth consecutive year of partnership between ARM & HAMMER Laundry and Dress for Success, supporting programs that help women build confidence, advance their careers and achieve greater economic mobility.
As part of its continued commitment, ARM & HAMMER Laundry will donate $100,000 to Dress for Success to help fund professional development resources and services for women working toward economic independence. The Women Who Inspire Luncheon brings together corporate executives, thought leaders, media personalities and women from the Dress for Success community for an afternoon of connection, professional networking and celebration. This year’s first ever Women Who Inspire Impact Award will go to visionary leader, trailblazing advocate, and cherished champion for women and girls around the world, Gloria Steinem. Dress for Success will honor her with a special tribute to her life, legacy, and impact. Gloria’s unwavering commitment to women’s equality, opportunity, and empowerment helped shape generations of changemakers and inspired countless individuals to raise their voices, pursue their ambitions, and challenge barriers
“ARM & HAMMER Laundry is committed to supporting women on every step of their journey, from the laundry room to the boardroom,” said Robyn Safran, Associate VP of Marketing, ARM & HAMMER Laundry. “Our continued partnership with Dress for Success reflects our belief that every woman deserves the confidence, resources and support to pursue her goals. We’re proud to celebrate the women who continue to show up, overcome challenges and move forward with strength and purpose.”
As part of the luncheon, ARM & HAMMER Laundry will host a LIFT Kit activation, inviting guests to assemble career-readiness kits for women in the Dress for Success network. Each kit will include ARM & HAMMER Laundry care essentials to help women care for their professional wardrobe and feel fresh, prepared and confident, along with practical resources from Dress for Success, such as interview tips, professional styling guidance, career planning tools and positive affirmations. Completed kits will be distributed to women preparing for interviews, new jobs and other career opportunities, extending the impact of the event beyond the luncheon.
“Partnerships like this are so meaningful because they help us turn confidence into opportunity,” said Dress for Success CEO, Joanie Bily. “For six years, ARM & HAMMER Laundry has stood alongside Dress for Success to help women feel prepared to take their next step, and this continued support will help us provide the resources, guidance and professional essentials women need to build brighter futures. We’re grateful to have ARM & HAMMER Laundry as a partner in advancing our mission and celebrating the strength and potential of women everywhere.”
The partnership will continue this fall when ARM & HAMMER Laundry serves as Presenting Sponsor of Dress for Success Worldwide’s 2026 New York City Marathon team. The five-member team, which includes Dress for Success CEO, Joanie Bily, will raise funds to support the organization’s purpose to advance women’s greater economic mobility.
The sponsorship builds on ARM & HAMMER Laundry’s “Come Clean for Deep Clean” campaign, which celebrates the confidence that can come from feeling fresh, prepared and ready for what’s next. Through its partnership with Dress for Success, ARM & HAMMER Laundry is helping provide women with resources that can support fresh starts and new opportunities. ARM & HAMMER Laundry’s $100,000 contribution will support Dress for Success programming, including professional attire, career coaching, professional development and job retention services.
