9/19/13 - A program that offers affordable formal wear to local high school girls but also builds awareness about the dangers of substance abuse is officially open. High school girls can shop at the Cinderella's Closet boutique this weekend and the next for homecoming party dresses as part of the program that helps recycle and re-love special occasion dresses while also helping abused children and victims of interpersonal violence at LACASA. Cinderella's Closet has more than 100 new dresses in stock along with others that are gently used, all of which are $25. Cinderella's Closet works to increase awareness among high school girls about the link between substance abuse and dating violence and sexual assault. Officials say the goal is to help girls stay aware, alert and safe so they can enjoy a truly memorable evening. Young ladies who shop Cinderella's Closet are invited to sign the Homecoming Promise, a pledge to stay drug and alcohol free during special school occasions. Those who do will receive a small gift but also be entered to win raffle baskets that have been donated by local businesses. Complete details and hours can be found through the link below. (JM)
