Vanessa Williams hosted the Express Success 'Rack Relay Race' and professional clothing drive to benefit Not-For-Profit Dress For Success in Grand Central Terminal in New York City on Monday afternoon June 30th.
Dress for Success is a not-for-profit organization that promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life. Since starting operations in 1997, Dress for Success has helped more than 500,000 women work towards self-sufficiency.
Currently appearing on ABC-TV's "Ugly Betty," Vanessa Williams is one of the most respected and multi-faceted performers in entertainment today. She has conquered the musical charts, Broadway, music videos, television and motion pictures. She has sold over four million albums worldwide and her skills as an actress on stage, in film and on television have earned critical praise.
In 1994, Vanessa realized a life-long dream, taking Broadway by storm when she replaced Chita Rivera in "Kiss of the Spider Woman." Her performance won critics over and was a box-office sensation, firmly establishing Vanessa as a multi-talented triple-threat. Vanessa also garnered rave reviews and was nominated for a Tony Award in the 2002 revival of Stephen "Into the Woods," taking a brief break from the production to headline a limited special engagement of the classic, "Carmen Jones," at the Kennedy Center.
