NY Clothing Drive

Vanessa Williams is pairing up with Botox and Dress For Success to host a clothing drive, where women will donate clothes and relay race for charity. Let's take a look.
Wilhemina Slater is taking on a new role. Vanessa Williams may have played a nasty boss, but now she is spearheading a campaign for charity.

She was at New York's Grand Central Station on Tuesday, encouraging women to donate their clothes, and participate in a fashion relay race.

Sponsors of the event committed $250,000 to the nonprofit organization Dress For Success.

[Vanessa Williams, actor and singer]:
"It's a fantastic organization, ... and we want to thank everyone for coming out tonight, so let the races begin!"

Participants raced to and from the clothing rack, carefully but quickly choosing clothes for their mannequins.

The quickest team to finish won, each dressing their mannequins for success.

[Vanessa Williams, actor and singer]:
"I am representative of working women, of women that want to look their best, who want to look and express their success in the way that we can and we want to help women that are in need and give them a start to look their best too. "

Dress For Success is a group that donates clothes and gives advice to women to help them succeed in the workforce.

This race is a kickoff for the Express Success Campaign, and Vanessa Williams will be hosting many more events to help disadvantaged women.
