 For six consecutive prom seasons, the Junior League of Kane & DuPage Counties, Inc. (JLKD) has hosted an enchanting formalwear boutique where thousands of high school girls' prom dreams have come true. This truly magical event has provided young women facing financial difficulties the opportunity to "shop" for dresses, jewelry, purses...pretty much everything they might need for prom - all FREE OF CHARGE!
In 2010, we were thrilled to be able to serve more than 330 young women from throughout the western suburbs and beyond thanks to the generosity and support of hundreds of individuals and businesses that donated dresses, accessories, equipment, and services or volunteered their time and talents to this very special event. To all of these people, as well as the many, many others who have supported Cinderella's Closet over the past six years, we offer a heartfelt THANK YOU!
In keeping with our League tradition of developing successful projects and then turning them over to qualified community partners, it is with great excitement (and a bit of melancholy) that we announce Cinderella's Closet will have a new home in 2011. The women of the Elgin Junior Service Board (www.elginjsb.org) have enthusiastically adopted this project and will take over responsibility for hosting and running next year's event with support and guidance from JLKD. We are thrilled with this collaboration and look forward to a smooth transition and to working with EJSB to continue making prom dreams come true for many years to come.
If you have a dress to donate or would like to be a part of the 2011 event, please contact cinderellascloset@elginjsb.org.
