Childhood and indeed life have key events...
milestones that help shape who we are and the adults we will become!
For young women, grad and prom are two moments in time that mark key social highlights. Along the road to create these happy, lifelong memories is the pressure to keep pace with classmates and friends.
The expenses associated with these events can be substantial. Dress, shoes, makeup, hair, tickets...the list is long. Many girls in our area and their families struggle to meet basic needs each day, so the goal of fitting in and outfitting themselves in a nice dress seems an unattainable dream...like something out of a fairy tale.
Enter the Cinderella Story, a 100% volunteer-run organization of women who strive to give young ladies a prom dress and a few extras at no cost to them.
Founded in 2009, Cinderella Story relies on the generousity of dress donors and volunteers to fit girls with the dress of their dreams. We are NOT a charity...just a group of enthusiastic community members who fondly remember our own proms and who wish every girl has a dream night of her very own.
The transformation and wide smile on a young lady's face who may have never owned a dress before or ever felt like she would be able to attend prom gives you goose-bumps.

I just wanted to thank you all for your wonderful generosity. I'm watching my
daughter try on her new dress again and just the absolute joy on her face is so
heartwarming. ....This provision has brought such happiness to her and I am so grateful to all the
donors and volunteers that have made this possible. Thank you so much!
