JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Goodwill of North Florida’s annual awards ceremony and celebrity fashion show, “Striving to Succeed,” aired Thursday on Channel 4.
The change was made in response to the pandemic but said the adjusted format allows it to communicate their mission at an even higher level through using mass media.

“Like so many organizations during the pandemic, we were faced with the decision of how to move forward with a large, annual in person event with more than 600 attendees,” said David Rey, CEO of Goodwill of North Florida. “We opted to take our event virtual, and the final result has far exceeded our expectations. We’re able to highlight what we do, and drill down on why we do it via video storytelling. We can’t wait to share it with everyone since our audience is now unlimited.”
The 30-minute program featured a fashion show where stylist Argie Mitra walked viewers through the process of dressing some of Jacksonville’s celebrities head-to-toe in Goodwill finds, complete with thrift shopping tips and jaw-dropping finds. It also featured the stories of Goodwill achievers of the year that capture the organization’s mission of sustainability and the formula Donate+Shop=Jobs.
