Give $4 or More and Help Make Girls' Prom Dreams Come True!

The Enchanted Closet needs monetary donations from the public to help renovate its new space so that they may continue to make dreams come by outfitting girls for homecoming and prom in an enchanting boutique. Tax deductible donations may be made at www.youcaring.com/enchantedclosetboutique

The Enchanted Closet has outfitted nearly 6000 girls for prom and other enchanting times in their lives since 2003. The organization has saved families over $1,000,000 and has relieved the stress that used to come with families having to decide which bills they would not pay in order to purchase prom dresses for their daughters.

Additionally, girls have seen more possibilities for themselves by participating in the Enchanted Closet's GIRL$ Service-Learning Program developed to increase the self awareness, self esteem, and self sufficiency of girls. The program includes monthly workshops, community service, and events. Girls participating in Enchanted Closet programs have started community service efforts at their schools, improved their behavior and grades, gone to college, started their own businesses, become self sufficient, paid it forward and have helped their communities and changed their families' lives.

The public's help is needed to not only provide a place where girls can receive formal dresses and accessories, but where they can go and be empowered with self confidence and self worth for life. 

Donations to the Enchanted Closet are 100% tax deductible to the full extent of the law. The IRS issued EIN# is 06-1703633
