Lapels Dry Cleaning’s Clothing Drive For Big Brother Big Sister Generates More Than 16000 Pounds

Best Drive Evah! Lapels Dry Cleaning’s Annual Clothing Drive To Benefit Big Brother Big Sister Generates More Than 16,000 Pounds In Clothing Donations

June 09, 2017 // Franchising.com // HANOVER, MA - Most fundraisers are judged by the dollar. Lapels Dry Cleaning’s Annual Clothing Drive to benefit Big Brother Big Sister, success is based on pounds. And this year’s drive more than carried it’s weight literally, generating 16093 pounds of clothing. The 16,093 represents the most clothes ever raised by the drive, which Lapels has conducted each of the past 14 years.

Held from April 22 to May 7, Lapels Dry Cleaning stores in seven states-- Arizona, Connecticut, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, and New Jersey—collected clothing from Lapels customers and the general public. The clothing will be sold through a variety of channels-- consignment shops, flea markets and online portals in those respective states. The sales of those items will go to fund mentoring programs for young girls and boys in those states.

“There are only so many opportunities you get to make such a positive impact in the day to day lives of our youth. We are honored to be part of such a wonderful organization!” said Kevin Dubois, CEO of Lapels Dry Cleaning. “As generous as we know our customers are, they continue to go above and beyond to give and that’s why we keep breaking our own record each year. But this year was really off the charts!”

Lapels Dry Cleaning of Cohasset received the most donations for the second year in a row--a whopping 2990 pounds.

“Again, we would like to thank Lapels Dry Cleaning and its franchise owners for coming through with another record-breaking fundraiser,” said Steve Beck, executive director of Big Brother Big Sister Foundation. “I know people associate Lapels Dry Cleaning with being environmentally friendly. Based on the annual success of this clothing drive, I’d have to say they are pretty friendly to the local community as well.”
