This incredible program is such a hidden gem in Mitchell.
Every girl deserves to feel special on prom. ✨
The Mitchell Area United Way is honored to help in a small way by being the drop off point for donated dresses. 👗
Let’s help them find a permanent home so they can continue to serves these young ladies!
Over the last 15 years, we have helped an estimated 1,500 girls find their right-fit dresses for prom, but tonight we are asking 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 help in finding 𝙪𝙨 just the right fit!
Earlier this month, we learned that we will lose our year-round storage and need to find a new home for our dresses, racks and totes of accessories by June 1. We have found a solution that will keep them clean and secure, but we need your help to make it happen and continue our mission!
We have never before done a fundraiser, because we have been fortunate to run our nonprofit with very little overhead. Any donations we have received have directly benefited each year’s event, funded our modest marketing budget, purchased dresses to fill the gaps for certain sizes, supplemented refreshments/prizes, and paid a small rental fee for our event.
The Glass Slipper saves area girls an estimated $50,000 annually, so, while facing an estimated $1,200-per-year expense so spur-of-the-moment is taxing, we know that the 100-ish Cinderellas we serve each year are counting on us to keep this project going!
Please contact us if you or your business is interested in making a one-time or ongoing, tax-deductible contribution to help us continue to Bibbity-Bobbity-DO this!
Please note: RiverTree Church is no longer able to collect our dresses. However, Mitchell Area United Way has graciously offered to receive them. Please call or text Sydney at 605-996-3915 to make arrangements.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our mission and the girls it supports!
