That’s a wrap on Paw Paw Cinderella Project 2026. 130+ gowns found their way into area teens closets and await the magical nights of proms and cotillions.
Dozens of volunteers helped people from dozens of schools as far away as Niles, Byron Center, many private schools, homeschooling communities, and other local Van Buren and Cass schools.
The excitement, smiles and pure joy when the perfect gown is found is priceless!
All gowns are donated and given away for FREE. This has saved our community at least $200,000 over the years. Money that stays in our community in the form of restaurant dinners, hair & nails, flowers, and sometimes the ability to buy the prom tickets themselves.
As we completed our 8th year we had several conversions with our repeat customers who have gotten every formal occasion dress from us. 🥰 That is exactly why our committee and volunteers return year after year!
If you have any gowns or formal dance dresses you would like to donate, please drop off at the Harvey House Salon of Paw Paw during any business hours year round. Pants hangers are also welcome to hang the many strapless gowns that are donated.
🗓️Watch for our Homecoming/Snowfest event this September for the opportunity to choose a knee length/tea length dress for your fall/winter dances.
Thank you again, to all who attended!
