Throughout the year, the Cinderella Project collects donated evening gown from individuals and retailers in the Baton Rouge community in preparation for the giveaway.
We will host our Annual Dress Giveaway from 8:30am - 4:pm THIS SATURDAY at the Louisiana State Police Headquarters Cafeteria located at 7901 Independence Blvd in Baton Rouge.
Students must bring their high school ID and a female parent or guardian over the age of 18 with them. Students do not need to provide proof of financial need; eligibility for a free prom dress is on the honor system.
To ensure a respectful, organized shopping experience, each student will be paired with a volunteer personal shopper who will give her through the dress inventory....we have over a thousand dresses this year! We'll also have my favorite 225 Fashion Contributor and Poshactivity blogger Candra-Eloise Burges to help "wardrobe" the young ladies to ensure their gown is the perfect fit for them!
While students wait in line to enter the Dress Giveaway, they will have the opportunity to visit an "Empowerment Expo" of booths providing information on a range of relevant topics including healthy lifestyles and college planning.
Education is the dress that never goes out of style. Hosting this year's Empowerment Expo is part of out long-term goal of establishing The Cinderella Project as a trusted community resource - not just about free prom dresses, but so much more. We want to provide information that will empower high school women to make smart choices about their future.
