Mederma partners with Dress for Success on 'Project Confidence'

RALEIGH, N.C. — Merz Aesthetics, a division of Merz North America, announced Tuesday that Mederma has partnered with Dress for Success to launch "Project Confidence," a one-year program designed to help at-risk women live more confidently and project their best selves in everything they do.

 

Mederma is donating $100,000 to Dress for Success to support the expansion of its health-and-wellness programs and the development of key initiatives intended to promote healthy habits and self-empowerment among women. Throughout the next year, Mederma will also be donating scar care product for distribution to local affiliates of Dress for Success.

 

“The desire to instill improved confidence in women lies at the core of both the Mederma brand and our entire Merz Aesthetics business,” stated Jim Hartman, VP and U.S. head – aesthetics/OTC for Merz North America. “As partners with Dress for Success in 'Project Confidence,' we look forward to providing funding and support for meaningful health and wellness programs that will inspire disadvantaged women to live confidently and realize a brighter future.“

 

“Mederma is a fantastic addition to the Dress for Success family of partners,” said Joi Gordon, CEO of Dress for Success Worldwide. “The folks at Mederma understand the importance of fostering confidence in women, and we’re looking forward to working together to bring ‘Project Confidence’ to life.”

 

In the coming months, as part of “Project Confidence,” Mederma will host an online event that will benefit Dress for Success and give participants the opportunity to learn more about the organization’s mission, outreach programs and network of local affiliates. “Project Confidence” will also have a presence at the annual “Power Walk for Dress for Success” in New York, where participants come together in support of the organization and enjoy a day celebrating confidence and empowerment.

 

Dress for Success is a not-for-profit organization that promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a support network and career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
