The Heart of Neiman Marcus Art Gala

Executive Summary
In August 2014, The Dallas Morning News stated the following about teenage pregnancy:
Texas has the fifth-highest rate in the U.S. (44.4 in 1,000) and some of the hottest spots in the
state are here in Dallas. When 76 to 100 teen girls out of 1,000 get pregnant, that is on par with
third world numbers. Teen moms often need expensive public services like food stamps,
welfare, housing subsidies, foster programs and Medicaid. Statistics show their children are more
likely to live in single-parent households, and they are likely to experience poverty. These
children often repeat the cycle of hardship, by becoming teen parents themselves, or even
entering the prison system.
Neiman Marcus would like to join forces with the Dallas Regional Chamber, to raise
funds for a non profit agency called Girls Incorporated of Metropolitan Dallas. Girls Inc. of
Dallas has a pregnancy prevention program called Girls Getting Ready. We are thrilled to
announce our charity event The Heart of Neiman Marcus Art Gala, which will be held at the
Dallas Museum of Art on Feb 7th , 2015. All revenue from this charity event will go to Girls Inc.
of Dallas to support their program Girls Getting Ready. As said by Karen Katz the CEO and
President of Neiman Marcus, A spirit of community and goodwill has been an important part of
the culture of our company for over 100 years. Together Neiman Marcus, Girls Inc. of Dallas
and the Dallas Regional Chamber, hope to contribute to making a better future for our children
and community. Let's continue to make this our legacy.

The Dallas Regional Chamber Background

The Dallas Regional Chamber is an organization that promotes business and community
partnerships. The Chambers goal is to look for a business that will host an event or program that
will show social responsibility and community interactions in the Dallas area as part of their
Blueprints for Economic Prosperity. The Chamber sub-committee will be responsible for
selecting which business proposal we will support. The Chambers overall goal is to enhance
community and business involvement to make a difference within our society. The Chambers
priority is to bring together the businesses and residents of Dallas and to find solutions for needs
within the community.

Neiman Marcus Background

Neiman Marcuss first store was opened in Dallas, Texas in 1907. The founders of
Neiman Marcus were Herbert Marcus, Carrie Marcus Neiman and Al Neiman. These three
founders opened their first store with a measly investment of $25,000 and are now known as one
of the most exclusive retail stores in existence. Our mission statement reads, Neiman Marcus
Stores will be the premier luxury retailer recognized for merchandise leadership and superior
customer service. We will offer the finest fashion and quality products in an exceptional
environment.
We have always found ways of giving back to our customers and the community. We
were the first retail company to ever have a loyalty program. We treat all of our customers with
the utmost respect and professionalism and we feel the same way about taking care of our
communities.
We have always been very dedicated in strengthening our communities to ensure the
youth within are receiving adequate resources to become successful. In November 19, 2013 we
did exactly that by launching The Heart of Neiman Marcus program in conjunction with the
launch of the Ken Downing Gift Collection right here in Dallas. This program concentrates on
supporting arts experiences for youths. The youths engagement with the arts can greatly impact
educational performance, creativity and enhance community health.
Neiman Marcus is seeking to partner with Girls Incorporated of Metropolitan Dallas and
the Dallas Regional Chamber to fight against teen pregnancy within Dallas. We want to reach out
to these girls and help to protect them from teenage pregnancies, so they can live successful
lives.

Girls Incorporated of Metropolitan Dallas Background

Jane Murchison and Evelyn Lambert established Girls Incorporated of Metropolitan
Dallas in 1968. It is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to the young women in the Dallas
area. They work with girls ages 6-18 to inspire them to be strong, smart, and bold. They work to
help young women by providing them with tools and education to encourage them to become the
best they can be. One of the greatest things they do, is educating girls about teen pregnancy to
help prevent it.
Girls Getting Ready:
They feel a strong need to reach out to these girls before it is too late. Girls Inc. of
Metropolitan Dallas is already a great supporter in teen pregnancy prevention. They have a
program called Girls Getting Ready, that has two sections that focus very strongly on
increasing knowledge about the prevention of pregnancy, STDs and HIV. Im Making a
Difference and Reducing the Risk are the names of the two sections which are separated by
grade level.
Im Making a Difference:
Im Making a Difference was created to give girls from fifth grade to eighth grade
certain behaviors that will help reduce their risk of becoming pregnant or infected with STDs.
One of the biggest things they push for is abstinence and postponing sexual activity because that
is the easiest way to keep yourself from getting pregnant or getting an STD. They help increase
positive attitudes about abstinence, which increases their confidence to consider abstinence.
When they feel more confident they also start to feel pride and responsibility in making a
difference in their lives.

The Heart of Neiman Marcus Art Gala

Reducing the Risk:
Their other program, Reducing the Risk, is meant to reach out to older girls in grade 912. This program uses a slightly different approach to reduce teen pregnancy by talking about the
risks and dangers of having sex, especially when you arent using contraception. Reducing the
Risk evaluates risks of becoming pregnant, being infected with STDs, not using contraception,
the importance of using contraception, and slightly focuses on remaining abstinent but primarily
on avoiding unprotected sexual intercourse.
Program Effectiveness:
Girls Incorporated has been doing an amazing job of preventing teenage pregnancy and
we want to help in this effort. The effectiveness of the curriculum can be clearly seen through
statistics and measurable results. Ten out of the last eleven years, 100% of girls in the program
have remained pregnancy and drug free. Additionally, over the past eleven years, 100% of senior
girls in the program have graduated from high school as well as gone on to some form of higher
education pursuits. (Girls Inc.) Numbers like these show how serious and effective Girls Inc. is
about reducing teen pregnancies which is exactly what we need in a partner.

Girls Inc. of Dallas has additional programs to help prevent teenage pregnancy, such as:

Growing Together (ages 9-11)

Will Power/ Wont Power (ages 12-14)

Taking Care of Business (ages 15-18)

The Heart of Neiman Marcus Art Gala

Im Making a Difference (Grades 5 to 8)

Designed to empower girls with behaviors, Im Making a Difference will reduce their risk of
becoming pregnant or infected with STDs or HIV.
The program focuses on abstinence and postponing sexual activity by:
Increasing knowledge about pregnancy prevention
Increasing positive attitude about abstinence
Increasing confidence in the ability to negotiate abstinence
Strengthening intentions to abstain from sex
Strengthening sense of pride & responsibility in making a difference in their lives
Educating girls on avoiding high-risk behaviors

Reducing The Risk (Grades 9 to 12)

Reducing My Risk is a powerful approach to teen pregnancy, HIV and STDs prevention.
The program motivates girls to take steps to avoid high-risk behaviors by equipping them with
the skills to:
Evaluate the risks
Recognize that abstaining from sexual activity or using contraception are the only ways to avoid
pregnancy and STDs
Understanding the factual information about conception and protection is essential for avoiding
teen pregnancy and STDs
Communicate effectively to remain abstinent and avoid unprotected sexual intercourse

Social Cause Background: Teenage Pregnancy in Dallas

8

The Heart of Neiman Marcus Art Gala

Teen pregnancy is a huge problem throughout the entire world, unfortunately Dallas has
one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy clocking in at 76 per 1,000 girls. The teen pregnancy
rate in Texas is significantly less than Dallas, it comes out to 52 per 1,000 girls. The problem is
enormous in Dallas, almost doubling the United States average of 44.4 per 1000 girls.
Teen pregnancy is strongly associated with economic and social issues. Almost 50% of
all teen mothers end up living in poverty. Teen pregnancies result in a ridiculous number of high
school dropouts. Almost less than half of teen mothers graduate from high school and fewer than
2% of teen mothers will receive a college degree by the time they are 30. One of the worst things
about teen pregnancy is that it not only affects the mothers education but their childrens
education as well.
We believe Girls Inc. would be the perfect partner for this program because they already
have experience when it comes to teen pregnancy reduction. We are seeking a partnership with
the Dallas Regional Chamber to ultimately reduce teen pregnancy throughout the Dallas
Community. We will use Girls Inc. of Dallas to reach these girls and teach them about the
negative effects and hardships of becoming pregnant at a young age, we can not do this without
help from the Dallas Regional Chamber. The Dallas Regional Chamber can provide us with the
resources we need, to positively impact these young girls before they are victims of teen
pregnancy.

The Heart of Neiman Marcus Art Gala

The Texas Department of State Health Services tracks teenage pregnancy rates for all
counties in Texas. Teenage pregnancy rates are going down, However Texas has the fifth highest
pregnancy rates in the United States. Dallas County has the second highest pregnancy rates in the
state. In the city of Dallas specifically 1 in 10 teenage girls are getting pregnant. 76 to 100 girls
per 1,000.

To Whom It May Concern:
The North Texas Food Banks purpose is to address the critical issue of hunger in our
community, by distributing donations of surplus food and grocery products through a network of
charitable organizations. Our efforts would not be enough without the assistance of benefactors,
such as Neiman Marcus. Their annual contribution of their time and monetary donations are
crucial to our success. This year we are once again thrilled to receive a donation of $100,000.
This donation helps to bring nutritious food to families in need. As the Executive Vice President
of the North Texas Food Bank, I am grateful to have the pleasure of working with this amazing
company for over four years now. They have been an essential asset to our organization and have
19

To Whom It May Concern:
The St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering
research and treatment of children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. Our mission is to
advance cures and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and
treatment. This letter is written to recommend Neiman Marcus as a candidate for a business
partnership. As the executive director of the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, over the last
three years I had the pleasure of partnering up with this organization. Neiman Marcus helped
with our mission of raising annual funds, to finance cancer-cure research projects, as well as

20

The Heart of Neiman Marcus Art Gala

funds to sufficiently operate. Thanks to the incredible support and sponsorship of Neiman
Marcus, we were able to reach major scientific advances in cancer treatments and bring health
and happiness to many children and their family. Neiman Marcus certainly makes for a very
reliable and pleasant collaborator. I highly recommend them as a business partner.
Regards,

James Downing
MD, President and Chief Executive Officers

Case Study
Background- The St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital is ranked one of the best pediatric
cancer hospitals in the country. They are the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated
Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. The hospital assists more than 7,800
children a year, by providing some of the worlds best medical care, therapy, and emotional
support. Their patients have some of the most rare and life-threatening forms of cancer.

Challenge and action- Services at the St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital come at no cost to
the families. The hospital costs $1.9 million a day to operate. Because of the high cost, St. Jude
Childrens Research Hospital is always eager for help from the community. On October 8th,
2012 Neiman Marcus partnered with Armani Collezioni and the St. Jude Childrens Research
Hospital. They hosted the 8th annual Heart of Fashion Runway show and auction, to raise
money for children with cancer and their families.

21

The Heart of Neiman Marcus Art Gala

Result- Thanks to the help and support of generous donors, The Heart of Fashion charity event

since the show was first presented in 2006.
