“The number of girls in need of the Enchanted Closet’s help continues to significantly increase each year, said Bonita Johnson,” Enchanted Closet President and CEO. “Preparing for the Prom Dress Giveaway provides a wonderful opportunity for the organization to connect with caring and altruistic people in the metropolitan Atlanta community. We greatly appreciate the support of Purple Corkscrew Wine Room & Lounge and are incredibly thankful for the individuals and businesses that offer to host dress drives and help us with collecting donated items.”
The Enchanted Closet’s Prom Dress Giveaway began in 2003 as a project to provide prom dresses to teenage girls whose families were financially challenged. To date, the Enchanted Closet has outfitted more than 5,000 girls for special occasions.
During the Prom Dress Giveaway, the Enchanted Closet offers a boutique-style setting and provides personal shoppers – people who are volunteers – to help each girl choose that perfect dress, accessories and makeup for their special night. Enchanted Closet encourages girls to be smart shoppers by providing them an opportunity to get beautiful gowns for $10, a handling fee that helps to offset the costs of dry-cleaning, alterations, and set-up. Accessories are available on a limited basis.
The 12th Annual Prom Dress Giveaways will take place on Saturday, March 15 and Saturday, March 29 from 10:00 am p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the New Vision Christian Church and the Rialto Center for the Arts at Georgia State University. Girls interested in receiving prom dresses should visit the Enchanted Closet website,www.enchantedcloset.org/
If unable to attend the Dress Drive event at Purple Corkscrew Wine Room and Lounge, the Enchanted Closet is collecting donations of prom attire and accessories for Prom Dress Giveaway from now through April. Monetary donations may also be made at www.enchantedcloset.org.
