From March 25th until April 10, 2024, you have the opportunity to help a girl's dream come true.  All to often, prom season, which should be a joyous celebration of accomplishment, becomes a stressful one for many young women. Not having the resources to obtain a dress, or shoes, not to mention hair, makeup, and accessories, can create enormous anxiety.  Through your generous support, we can assist these young women who are deserving.  Help us make every girl feel beautiful and worthwhile on her special prom day.
