Belle of the Ball

If you can believe it, spring is just around the corner (March 20 to be exact), and there is no time like the present to begin your spring cleaning. For some, that means hauling out the broom, mop, and Windex for your own version of extreme makeover home edition, but for fashionistas it means something much, much different: time to clean out the closet! And the timing couldn't be more perfect, with the Belle of the Ball fundraiser extending from now until April 1. Now you can make room for some new spring looks and lend a helping hand at the same time by sharing your super chic dresses with those in need.

Celebrating it's 6th year, the Belle of the Ball fundraiser is a prom dress collection drive that aims to collect, clean, trendy, gently worn gowns and outfit 300-400 junior and senior high school students who otherwise would not be able to attend their prom night. Here's how it works:

• Dresses can be any size, but they must be in good condition (ie. no rips, holes, broken zippers, or stains).


• Remember that the dresses will be given to high school juniors and seniors so they should be both trendy and age-appropriate.


• The dress collection takes place between now and April 1. For your convenience, you can drop off dresses at any Anton's Cleaners of Jordan's Furniture location during this time period.
  

I know we all remember how important prom was during our high school reign, and now you have a chance to help a new generation of young ladies (hello, fashionistas-in-training!) look and feel fabulous on their special night. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: doing good is always in style.

Special thanks to the lovely Lizzie for the heads-up on this amazing cause!
