2012 Belle of the Ball provides dresses for proms!

If you foster child needs a dress, please contact the social worker so that they can make a referal!
 



 

Good afternoon,

 

Do you know a deserving young lady who would love to attend her junior or senior prom but cannot afford to buy her dream dress and other prom accessories?  We invite you  nominate qualified high school girls to attend an exclusive dress boutique where they will get to shop for the perfect dress – free of charge.

 

We have just kicked off the 8th annual Belle of the Ball prom gown drive, and we need your help to make sure the 2012 event is a success!

 

Since 2005, Belle of the Ball has collected, cleaned and distributed prom gowns at a boutique day held each year in mid-April. Our goal is to provide underprivileged high school girls with the opportunity to shop for a free gown at the boutique, as well as to provide raffle prizes throughout the day for hair, nail, and prom accessories, to eliminate additional prom expenses. 

 

Last year, over 400 girls walked away from the event with a prom dress and accessories; which they otherwise would not be able to afford. While we have dedicated our resources to making sure these girls can experience their dream prom, we acknowledge that our efforts depend on the support of referral partners, like you, who take the time to reach out to these deserving young ladies.

   

The 2012 event will be held Saturday, April 14th at Simmons College from 10am to 4pm.  We encourage you to join your referral girl(s) at the event as well!
