BOSTON and THE WOODLANDS, Texas, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Benchmark Resorts & Hotels, the collection of independent resorts and hotels by Pyramid Global Hospitality, today announced a new partnership with Dress for Success: Leave a Power Suit Behind. Launching in honor of Mother’s Day – a moment to celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of women – guests staying at 16 resorts and hotels across the U.S. can leave behind business-appropriate attire and accessories to directly impact women entering or returning to the workforce in those local communities.
Through Leave a Power Suit Behind, Benchmark Resorts & Hotels encourages guests checking in at properties across California, Florida, Maryland, Virginia, Arizona, Louisiana, Texas, Washington, and Oklahoma to pack with purpose – arriving with an extra suit, blouse, handbag, or like-new shoes to leave with a hotel team member or in thoughtfully placed Dress for Success collection areas. The program makes it easy for individual travelers and business groups to give back in a tangible way, fostering meaningful connections to the communities and destinations they visit.
“At Benchmark Resorts & Hotels, the places our guests visit – and the people who call those destinations home – are at the heart of what makes every travel experience unique,” said Evan Crawford, vice president of marketing for Pyramid’s Benchmark Resorts & Hotels collection. “Women play a fundamental role in shaping the character and spirit of our communities, and we’re proud to support an organization like Dress for Success that uplifts and empowers them. Through this partnership, we’re excited to create opportunities for our guests to take part and contribute in a simple, purposeful way.”
“At Dress for Success Houston, we witness every day how access to professional attire, career resources, and a strong support system can reshape a woman’s outlook and expand her opportunities,” said Lauren Levicki Courville, president of Dress for Success Houston. “Collaborations like this allow us to broaden our reach, fostering authentic connections between travelers and local communities while helping women build momentum in both their personal and professional journeys.”
