with The Cinderella Project S.C. ✨
Get your magic wand ready and queue up the Cinderella soundtrack on Spotify. By donating to The Cinderella Project, S.C. (sponsored by SC Bar Young Lawyers Division (YLD)), you can help a local girl find the prom dress of her dreams.
Helping S.C. girls say “yes to the dress” for 17 years, The Cinderella Project team has provided gently used + new prom dresses, shoes and accessories to hundreds of high school girls all over the state. Boutiques have up to 2,000+ dress options, so it’s no wonder that 300-450 local Midlands girls have found their perfect prom dresses. #fairygodmothergoals
How do the students shop for the dresses?
Each S.C. town or city has a designated “boutique” location in which students can shop for their dream dresses, shoes + accessories. All items are available at no charge to high school students, but make sure you bring your student ID with you so you can get the real princess treatment. Limit is one dress per student, but don’t worry; you don’t have to be back by midnight. 🕰🎃
