The Glass Slipper Project, Chicago, IL

The Glass Slipper Project, Chicago, IL Clean out your closet and help a young lady be a princess for a night! To date, we've helped more than 16,000 young women attend their proms in style!

Here's your chance to help a Chicago high school student be the "Belle of the Ball" at her high school prom. The Glass Slipper Project collects new and almost-new formal dresses and accessories and provides them, free of charge, to Chicago high school students who are unable to purchase their own prom attire. We distribute the dresses at Glass Slipper "boutiques," where each student receives indiv

idual assistance from a volunteer "personal shopper" as she shops for the dress of her dreams. The Glass Slipper Project® is a non-profit that gives away free prom dresses to high school Juniors and Seniors in the Chicago area. Students do not need to prove any type of financial hardship in order to get a dress from us. We are a solely volunteer based organization that relies on donations of dresses, shoes, jewelry, make-up and purses as well as monetary donations.

It is with much sadness that we announce the Glass Slipper Project’s 2020 boutiques have been postponed indefinitely due to concerns surrounding COVID-19.

While we know that thousands of high school students and their families have come to rely on Glass Slipper to provide students with beautiful gowns and thus help to ease the financial burden of Prom, we also know that our most important mission is to help preserve the health and safety of our students, parents and volunteers. We feel that postponing the Boutiques is the best way to do that.

The guidance surrounding COVID-19 seems to be changing every day, so we will continue to monitor the situation to determine if it is feasible to hold the Boutiques at a later date this Spring. We encourage you to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for further updates.

To the many volunteers who have already put in a tremendous amount of time and effort to unpack our tens of thousands of dresses, shoes, jewelry and accessories – we are humbled by the passion and commitment you show for Glass Slipper Project year after year.

To , and who collected thousands of dresses on our behalf and to the individuals who donated to Glass Slipper – we are grateful for your partnership and enthusiasm.

To Bradford & Gordon Family Law Attorneys for sponsoring our Jewelry Room and to Sennco for stocking our Makeup Room with full-size bottles of designer perfume – your support means the world to us and our students.

To , who has already donated pizza for our volunteers and who had committed to donating for all our Boutiques, and to , who donated coffee – your generosity is deeply appreciated.

And to our students: not all heroes wear capes, and not all princesses wear gowns. You are and will always be royalty in our eyes.

Stay safe and healthy,

The Board of the Glass Slipper Project
