Bay Area Service League hosted its Operation Cinderella Boutique Days from February through May. One hundred thirty-eight (138) girls were provided prom dresses and matching accessories, including shoes, a handbag, and jewelry.
Twenty-seven (27) boys received a custom-made suit with a shirt, tie, and shoes.
One individual was provided a tuxedo rental.
Through Operation Cinderella, a philanthropic program that began in 2006, prom night is made possible for high school senior girls and boys. The organization collects new and gently used formal dresses, shoes, purses, and jewelry for Boutique Day. Students have a fairytale time trying on gowns and being pampered by member volunteers who assist as personal shoppers.
Our male shoppers are measured for a custom-made suit and receive it along with a shirt, tie, and shoes.
Students from Clear Creek, Deer Park, Dickinson, Galveston, Hitchcock, La Porte, Santa Fe, and Texas City ISDs, are referred by their Communities In Schools Student Support Specialists or school counselors based on individual circumstances.
Female students in the JROTC program in Clear Creek, Deer Park, and Galveston also participate in preparation for their district-wide Military Ball. They are referred to in the same manner.
Although Operation Cinderella’s busiest times are in the spring of each year, it’s never too early to donate a new or gently-used evening dress, jewelry, shoes, or a purse to make our senior girls’ prom dreams come true.
