San Francisco’s Epi Center MedSpa Launches its Year of Philanthropy Honoring Dress for Success
by Teresa Rodriguez Williamson

Having recently been named the nation’s “Top Medical Spa” by DaySpa Magazine, Epi Center MedSpa San Francisco is renown as a luxury retreat in the heart of San Francisco’s Union Square. While the center is proud to receive such prestigious acclaim, it takes even more pride in its support of the local community.

In 2009, Epi Center MedSpa supported over 24 community groups, hosted events for 12 non-profit organizations and held six unique fundraising events. Beneficiaries included organizations that support women’s health issues, HIV/AIDS, children and families, animals, arts and culture as well as environmental causes. The center’s community partners include agencies such as: Global Green, Breast Cancer Emergency Fund, Academy of Friends, Edgewood Center for Families & Children, St. Anthony’s Foundation, Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation and the San Francisco Ballet.

The center kicks off its 2010 community giving campaign with a fundraising event on Feb. 16 benefitting Dress for Success, an organization that promotes independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.

“Epi Center is the perfect partner for Dress for Success,” says Maria Barrios Ehmer, community philanthropist who raises funds and awareness for organizations including for Dress for Success. “While it’s their mission to help people look their personal best, it’s our mission to help underprivileged women in our community look professional, so that they have the confidence to thrive in today’s workforce.”
