BLACKSBURG – The YMCA at VT in partnership with Blacksburg Junior Women’s Club and Chi Delta Alpha Service Sorority is proud to present the Cinderella and Prince Charming Boutique.
The boutique provides teens on a budget their fairytale prom by providing new and gently used formal wear, shoes and accessories for young men and young ladies.
Prom and other formal occasions offer a special time in the life of a teenager. Everyone deserves the opportunity to attend if they wish yet it is also a very expensive event. It is especially so when one considers the cost of purchasing clothing, accessories and grooming. We do not want to see anyone that would like to attend their prom prevented from it because of the lack of resources.
The YMCA at Virginia Tech’s “Cinderella and Prince Charming Boutique “(aka, The Cinderella Project) has been developed to offset this potential issue. The assortment of clothing is large with a variety of options for all. We have volunteers to help with the process of selecting just the right outfit. Other volunteers help with grooming tips when available. In addition, we’ve made sure that price will not be an issue, nobody will leave empty handed.
“Finding a need and filling it, that’s what the YMCA at Virginia Tech does,” said Ron Ovelgoenner, YMCA Director of Thrift Shop Operations.
We are delighted to have support from volunteers from VCOM for the event this year. Please let us help make your Prom Dreams come true!! We invite all high school students shopping on a budget to come to the Y Thrift Shop, 1000, N. Main St., Blacksburg on the following dates to participate in the Cinderella & Prince Charming Boutique events. We promise every participant will leave satisfied.
This event is NOT for pageant attire.
