THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

To all those that participated in making the 2009 Dress Giveaway a HUGE success thank your for all your support! The event was March 28th and so many girls went home with beautiful prom dresses!

I appreciate everyone's patience with the updating of the blog with the slide show! My dance studio is still in our first 9 months of being open and I have been pulled in so many directions!
As busy as I have been, I am SO glad we were able to band together as women in fashion to bring a great shopping experience to some fantastic girls in need! Some of these girls have been given a giant bag of lemons this year with family struggles and the ever pressing economical situation, thanks to the Give-A-Gown Foundation Volunteers, we were able to make the sweetest lemonade on the block and provide over 130 dresses for these lovely young women to choose from!

Special thanks to:
Fashion Sqaure Dillards Women's Department for donating many NEW dresses and rolling racks for display!

Nancy's Boutique in Scottsdale, at Shea and Scottsdale Rd, for some lovely gowns! April Bogue, manager of Nancy's, contacted us as soon as Spring hit this year! Thank you for the initiative and the fantastic selection!

Kristen and Blair Miloscia, the most fantastic teenagers in town! Not only did they donate dresses and volunteer last year, they collected dresses on their own at their high school for the Dress Giveaway! Check out the slide show, some dresses they wore for their OWN homecoming, some girls took home for prom this year! What a great moment!

Mikayla Hudson, Mackenzie Hudson, Maclaine Hudson (Mac1, 2 and 3), Lauren Gray, Lauren Hardesty, Cindy Roberson, Marianne Scotto and Susanne Leming for all your help during set up, tear down of the event and the glorious giving of the dresses! I could have never done it without you ladies!
