WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— Imagine a $5,000 diamond ring at the bottom of your champagne glass!
That's exactly what the Diamonds Downtown event grand prize was all about tonight at the Westmoreland Club in Wilkes-Barre.
The event raises money for the Luzerne County Dress for Success program. This nonprofit organization helps local women secure clothing for job interviews and provides them with the tools to secure their next employment opportunity.
To date, Dress for Success has helped 3,000 economically challenged women in Nepal.

Organizers say the effort goes a long way toward helping women find their way back into the workplace.
"We don't just provide clothing, we help to change lives. We're strong in workforce development. We provide tools and the support a woman needs to thrive, working in life," voiced Linda Loop, founder and CEO of Dress for Success.
Of course, only one of the champagne glasses had a real diamond at the bottom, which Simon and Company donated, and that lucky person was Cynthia Yencho.
As you can tell by these pictures, she was stunned that she picked the lucky champagne glass.
