My dad had one suit growing up. It was his dream to provide suits for others so they can look good, play good and feel good. That's what we are here to do.

Through our Craig’s Closet program, another way to celebrate young men was created. Not only did we want to dress young men and make them look good, we wanted to honor those who deserved to be recognized for being good student citizens. We partnered with Surmesur Custom Menswear, Macy’s, and photographer Taylor Ollason to celebrate male high school seniors who show leadership, sportsmanship, hard work, and good character despite their challenges. High school guidance counselors select three male seniors from their school to be a part of our Suiting Up for Success Soiree, a night that recognizes their accomplishments.
Once selected, the process begins! Each teen receives a custom suit fitting at Surmesur, then they are off to Macy’s for their shoe selection. The night of the big event starts with a professional photoshoot with Cam in their new suits. Next, the young men are off to a formal dinner with Cam after the photoshoot. Motivational speakers then share their experiences and how they persevered to go on to successful careers. Many tears and hugs are shared during this transformational evening.
Cam hopes that the Suiting Up for Success event is just the beginning of his relationship with these young men. He is looking forward to hearing about all they accomplish in the coming years.
