Thanks to a couple of my fellow wedding bloggers, I just discovered a new favorite cause to add to my list!
From The Cinderella Affair website:
“Every girl dreams of going to her high school prom in a beautiful gown, feeling like Cinderella on the arm of her Prince Charming. For some, the high cost of prom keeps that special dream from becoming a reality.
The Cinderella Affair is an all-volunteer project supported by Tempe Community Council, the City of Tempe and the East Valley Women’s League. It is our mission to make attending prom affordable for all Phoenix-area high school junior and senior students. The program was founded in 2002 to assist girls by collecting and distributing gently-used formalwear. High school junior and senior girls are invited to attend a boutique in the Spring, where they shop for a dress and accessories free of charge. Volunteers act as personal shoppers, working diligently to make the whole experience unforgettable. A few of our dedicated volunteers even work as seamstresses, doing on-the-spot alterations, making sure the dresses are a perfect fit. In 2007, the Cinderella Affair assisted girls from 46 high schools.”
Please consider donating your gently used formal gowns to this charity… I will definitely be donating my dresses to help these girls. If you don’t have a dress to give, you may also donate cash through PayPal via their website.
