Mens Wearhouse is teaming up with United Way of Pierce County for a 2nd straight year. Go to any Mens Wearhouse in Washington and donate a gently used suit and it will go back to the community to help others as they seek employment.
Nonprofits have expressed that there is a shortage of men’s business attire, which is greatly needed for interviews and so individuals have proper attire for their job. Mens Wearhouse is donating a tie to UWPC to go along with each donated suit. Not to mention collecting, dry-cleaning, and delivering them.

Get your red on and gear up for the 18 annual Pierce County AIDS Foundation (PCAF) AIDS Walk. This year is the third I’ve been involved, although my first as a walker. Imagine a sea of red, ribbons and a touch of rowdiness, as people march in the memory of loved ones they have lost, to show camaraderie in the battle against this disease and to help raise money for PCAF. The walk is around 2 miles and people of all age and abilities can participate.
I suggest that you show up a half hour or so early so you can feel the energy in the crowd and see moving displays that map the history of this fight.
I’ll be captaining the Mix team, along with Brock Leach, owner of the Mix Bar in downtown Tacoma. If you’re not a walker, but like sipping coffee and providing support – contact Beth at PCAF 253.383.3565 to volunteer. Or, sponsor a team (perhaps mine : ) at piercecountyaids.org. Help PCAF reach their goal to raise $125,000.
Pierce County has the 2nd highest incidence of new infections in Washington and 80% of PCAF clients have incomes of less than $10,000 per year.
When: Saturday, September 12th | 9am -1pm
Where: UW Tacoma
Questions: Beth at PCAF 253.383.3565
