Prom Magic Made Possible – THANK YOU! 

We are overflowing with gratitude after another incredible year of our Giving Dreams Prom Boutique! Because of our amazing volunteers, donors, and community partners, we helped 95 teens find the perfect outfit to feel confident, celebrated, and ready for prom night! 💫
From stunning gowns and sharp suits to heartfelt moments and happy tears—this event was about so much more than clothes. One aunt teared up seeing her nephew in a suit for the first time, and countless families shared how meaningful this experience was for them.
A huge THANK YOU to our dedicated volunteer seamstresses who made countless alterations with love and care, and to every person who donated time, talent, or items to make this happen.

You helped us turn dreams into reality—and these smiles say it all.

Spring Event Wrap-Up! 264 families-including 629 children in attendance!
