Cinderella said it best: “In dreams you lose your heartaches”. Since 2006, the Midlothian Junior Women’s Club has helped many area teenage girls overcome the heartache of not being able to afford a prom dress due to financial hardships.

In 2011, the partnership between MJWC, Puritan Cleaners, 103.7 The River and Hot 100.9 provided gowns and accessories free of charge, to over 300 girls who, just like Cinderella needed help getting a gown for the ball.

We are excited to announce the kick-off of the 2012 project on February 6th, 2012 with the collection of new or slightly-used prom dresses, shoes, accessories and new make-up. Dress donations are welcomed at all Puritan Cleaner locations. Dress, shoes, accessories, and make up will also be accepted at all metro-Richmond YMCAs. For a complete listing of locations, please visit our website at www.cinderelladreams.net .

Collection of dresses will continue through March 12th, 2012

The Cinderella Dreams dress shop will be open at The Village Marketplace Shopping Center at 13100 Midlothian Tnpk. in Midlothian on Friday, March 23rd from 5:00-8:00 p.m. Saturday, March 24th from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and Saturday, March 31st from 9:00 a.m.- 12:00 p.m.

Girls will be helped on a first-come, first-served basis. A donation of $5.00 is suggested.
