ENID, OK – YWCA Enid’s Project Cinderella is back for its 8th season, continuing its mission to make prom and formal events accessible to all teens. Since its launch, the program has helped more than a thousand local students find the perfect dress, boosting confidence and ensuring no one misses out on these special moments due to financial barriers.
Project Cinderella is open now through Wednesday, April 23rd. Shopping appointments are required to ensure each participant receives personalized attention, and availability is limited. “We love seeing the excitement on each shopper’s face when they find the perfect dress,” said Austin Hazen, YWCA Public Relations Coordinator. “Appointments fill up fast the closer we get to prom, so we encourage students to book early at ywcaenid.com/project-cinderella.”
Project Cinderella offers free formal attire, including dresses, shoes, jewelry, and accessories, to teens in need. YWCA Enid is committed to making sure every student can attend their prom or formal event with confidence and dignity.
The program relies on the generosity of the community. Donations of formalwear, shoes, and accessories are always welcome to keep the shop stocked with a variety of styles and sizes. “Right now, our biggest needs are Elegant jewelry, formal shoes, and dresses in sizes 16 and up,” said Austin Hazen, YWCA Public Relations Coordinator. Volunteers are also needed to assist shoppers in finding their dream dress. Those interested in donating or volunteering can call 580-234-7581.
