Numerous stage and screen stars helped to support Men’s Wearhouse’s fifth annual National Suit Drive during the 66th Annual Tony Awards Backstage Creations Celebrity Retreat. The event ran from 9am until midnight on June 10, with stars dropping in both before and after the Tony Awards ceremony.
Among the participating celebrities were Norbert Leo Butz, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, John Larroquette, Judith Light, Mandy Patinkin, Tyler Perry, Amanda Seyfried, Ben Vereen, and BeBe Winans.
Celebrity participants personally styled professional suits to inspire looks to be donated to the National Suit Drive. Their generosity will help men in need transition back into the workforce in each celebrity’s hometown. The drive continues later this month, with patrons able to donate contribute their gently used men’s and women’s suits, shirts, jackets, ties, belts, and shoes at more than 900 Men’s Wearhouse and Men’s Wearhouse and Tux stores around the country from June 27 – July 31. All donated garments are distributed to local nonprofit partners that prepare men and women to re-enter the job market through resume-building workshops, interview preparation, and skills training programs. For every suit donated, Men’s Wearhouse will give two business ties to the cause.
