Cinderella’s Closet launches give-away weekend to ‘turn dresses into dreams’ for special prom-goers


Cinderella’s Closet provides formal wear for young women who could not otherwise afford to attend prom. Through donations of new and gently used formal dresses and accessories, Cinderella’s Closet is able to “Turn Dresses Into Dreams” for high school juniors and seniors referred to the organization by their school, community organization or social care agency. Even more than a dress, Cinderella’s Closet provides an unforgettable, amazing experience.

“From the moment our princesses dance through our doors they are greeted with an environment of grace, love and respect. It is our mission that they leave knowing they are cherished,” said Cinderella’s Closet Founder Erin Peterson.

Cinderella’s Closet relies on hundreds of volunteers throughout the year. This year, the Northern Kentucky area National Guard will be serving as “Guard-Fathers and Guard-Mother’s” by helping with setup and clean-up of the shopping and waiting areas, which is a process that typically takes several hours. The media is invited to cover the 13th annual giveaway weekend at Immanuel United Methodist Church in Lakeside Park. Once you arrive at the church, please contact Kendall Herold at 859-620-1222 to be escorted into the event. We ask that you please call upon arrival, prior to entering the building.

WHAT: Cinderella’s Closet 13th Annual Giveaway Weekend
WHEN: Friday March 22, 4:30-8 p.m. Saturday March 23, 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m.
WHERE: Immanuel United Methodist Church 2551 Dixie Highway Lakeside Park
