Press Release

High school girls have opportunity to receive a free donated prom dress through the Cinderella Project MKE

Prom is an important time for any high school student… and it can also be an expensive occasion. To alleviate some of the cost, The Gadzuric Foundation has created the Cinderella Project MKE, which will collect and distribute donated prom dresses to young women throughout the Milwaukee area.

The Gadzuric Foundation will host dress drives, where residents can drop off prom dresses at area community centers from now-April 3.

In addition to providing a free prom dress, the aim of the Cinderella Project MKE is to foster self-esteem for area high school girls and teach valuable life lessons. In order to receive a free prom dress, the girls must complete an application package which consists of a short essay on why they are deserving of the dress and a letter of support from an adult mentor (teacher, pastor, employer or community center employee). Participants will then attend a two-hour workshop that will cover various topics including nutrition and fitness, self-esteem, healthy relationships and prom choices.

Once those two steps are complete, the girls can then pick their prom dress on April 3rd at the Bradley Center. Food, beverage, music and personal shoppers will be on hand to aid in the selection of dresses.

Area residents are encouraged to donate their used, cleaned prom dresses for this cause. Monetary donations are also accepted to cover dry cleaning, purchasing of additional dresses and event fees. Donations can be sent to P.O. Box 9 Mequon, WI 53092.
