Jordan's Furniture teamed up with Anton's Cleaners to deliver gently used, like-new prom gowns and cocktail dresses to girls in need looking to attend their high school prom.
Donations were collected from February 1st through April 1st at all Jordan's Furniture locations. And Jordan’s customers delivered! A total of 3,227 gently-used dresses were collected. These dresses, along with the ones donated through Anton Cleaners, will be distributed to girls in need at an "invitation only" boutique in late April, enabling high school girls to try on and select a free gown.
A typical boutique usually includes over 2,000 dresses, all professionally dry-cleaned by Anton's Cleaners. Over 300 volunteers assist the girls, serving as their personal shoppers. Invitations are arranged through a Referral Partners Program of 125 public and private agencies. More than 1,495 girls have been outfitted since the Belle of the Ball program began in 2005.
Thank you to everyone who contributed. You made a special night come true for a lot of young women.
