Collecting Prom Dresses for Girls Who Can't Afford them!

Downtown Diva Dress Drive
1,000 dresses … 1,000 smiles!

While the Cinderella story is a fairtytale to most of us, a group of women from the greater Toronto area are joining forces and making dreams come true for under privileged high school girls.

Every year thousands of girls across Canada graduate from high school. With many families struggling to make ends meet these days, luxuries like prom dresses are unaffordable to many girls.

On Saturday, February 27th from 8 to 11 am please join in supporting the first annual Downtown Diva Dress Drive.

The goal of the dress drive is to receive 1,000 suitable dress donations from the greater Toronto area to be delivered to Ballroom Blitz (www.ballroom-blitz.org), a 100% volunteer organization that accepts donations of gently used prom dresses and accessories for high school girls who could otherwise not afford to attend their prom.

Help Us Reach Our Goal!
