Area Menswear Store Supports Students by Collecting Professional Attire for UW-Whitewater Warhawk Success Closet
J. Robert’s Menswear, a family-owned, area men’s clothing store with locations in Elkhorn and Janesville, is excited to announce the launch of its “Dress for Success Drive,” a charitable initiative in partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Career Services. From November 25th to GivingTuesday, December 3rd, 2024, the store invites the community to donate gently used professional attire to benefit UW-Whitewater students in their career pursuits.
This initiative is particularly meaningful to the store’s owner, Kyle Deschner, a 2022 alum of UW-Whitewater. “Our goal is to give back to the community and support the next generation of professionals,” Kyle states. “We’re thrilled to once again contribute to the Warhawk Success Closet, providing students with free access to the professional attire they need for interviews, internships, and career fairs.”
Community members can donate their gently used professional attire at either of the two J. Robert’s Menswear locations in Elkhorn or Janesville through Giving Tuesday (December 3, 2024). Accepted items include suits, shirts, ties, dress shoes, and more for men and women, all of which will be directly donated by Kyle to the Warhawk Success Closet at UW-Whitewater. Community members can also donate directly to UW-Whitewater.
As a token of gratitude, J. Robert’s Menswear is offering a $2 store credit for each item donated at one of the store locations, up to a $50 limit per customer, redeemable through March 2025. “This is our way of thanking our community for their generosity and involvement in this important cause,” says Kyle. The Dress for Success Drive is more than a clothing donation; it’s an opportunity for the community to engage in a meaningful act of giving.
