Illustrated Properties agents recently donated 115 suits and accessories to the Gold Coast Business and Professional Women's Club clothing drive.

The purpose of the clothing drive is to collect business attire for women who are victims of domestic abuse. The donations, which will be distributed to local organizations, will help them enter or re-enter the workforce with appropriate clothing.

"This was a wonderful opportunity and privilege for our agents to help women in our local community," said Mary Ward, Illustrated Properties community-relations manager.

The Gold Coast Business and Professional Women's Club is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, member-supported organization whose goal is to be the leading advocate for working women in the South Florida community. For information, visit: www.bpwgoldcoast.org/
