4/19/14 - Low-cost prom dresses are again being offered to local girls while helping the victims of violence and abuse. Cinderellaâs Closet is made possible through a partnership between Snedicorâs Green Earth Cleaners and LACASA and is designed to provide high school girls with affordable formal wear while increasing awareness about the link between substance abuse, dating violence and sexual assault. Those purchasing a prom dress are required to take the âprom promise,â pledging to remain alcohol- and drug-free on prom night. This year, the boutique will be open on two consecutive weekends to accommodate varying high school proms scheduled throughout the county. Cinderellaâs Closet will be open at Snedicorâs Brighton location next weekend, April 24th, 25th and 26th, and the following weekend as well. Meanwhile, a âDress Driveâ is now underway for long gowns or short party dresses in current styles. Dresses may be dropped off at either Snedicorâs locations in Brighton or Howell. All dresses are just $25, with proceeds going to LACASA Center for programs and services that aid victims of interpersonal violence. Boutique dates are April 24 and 25 from 3 to 8 p.m. and Saturday, April 26, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dates for the second weekend are May 1 and 2 from 3 to 8 p.m. and Saturday, May 3, 2014, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Inquiries about dress donations may be made by calling LACASA Center at 517-548-1350.
