The Disco Ball in the News
As part of Dress for Success San Francisco's 20th anniversary celebration, The Disco Ball brought together supporters, community leaders, corporate partners, volunteers, and advocates for an unforgettable evening of inspiration, connection, and celebration.
The energy didn't stop when the last song played.
From media coverage across the Bay Area to social media buzz throughout the evening, The Disco Ball helped shine a spotlight on the women, programs, and community that make our mission possible.
While many people know Dress for Success for the career clothing we provide, this coverage also highlighted the broader support available through our organization, including career coaching, digital skilling, financial education, community support, and long-term career development.
Growing the Event’s Reach
A special note of gratitude goes to Sharon Seto, whose dedication and vision have been instrumental in growing The Disco Ball into the celebrated event it is today.
Sharon’s efforts to cultivate relationships with media partners and amplify awareness of our mission helped ensure this 20th anniversary milestone reached audiences well beyond the ballroom.
Her commitment to Dress for Success San Francisco continues to open doors and create visibility for the women we serve.
The Conversation Continued
The conversation continued well beyond the ballroom. Attendees, partners, community advocates, and influencers shared their experiences throughout the evening, helping introduce new audiences to Dress for Success San Francisco and the impact of investing in women.
Influencers and supporters including Angie Hilem, Aquila Farrell, Samantha Bee (Stung by Samantha), Cassandra McClure, Kian Makoa Kaialoa, and Mark Rhoades of Mark Rhoades PR helped extend the event's reach across their networks, generating additional visibility and engagement.
Together with attendee-created content, collaborator posts, and partner amplification, these stories helped carry the spirit of The Disco Ball far beyond a single night—raising awareness, celebrating 20 years of impact, and helping more people discover the many ways Dress for Success supports women in work and life.
