What started as a small idea to provide a clothing rack of items for our children, turned into a vision of creating a boutique shopping experience year-round. A walk-in closet which offered seasonal and specialty apparel, accessories, and footwear. Highlighting prom and workplace attire and items ranging in all sizes and styles. Darby Dental once again stepped up to support at a Legacy Level, which allowed us to create this incredible space.
“The BBBSLI Kid’s Closet sponsored by Darby Dental is a place our Littles can go to Dress for Success! When you look good, you feel good and I can’t think of a more impactful way to build a young adult’s self-esteem!” said Liz Meyers, EVP Global Sourcing & Purchasing for Darby Dental Supply.
“This unique and functional space offers an additional wrap-a-round service to our families most in need, with clothing and accessories year-round. Helping them feel prepared for college and job interviews, beautiful and handsome for their proms or special events and confident for back-to-school and summer fun.” said Meredith Michaels, Chief Development Officer with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island.
