Calling All Prom Dresses

-
Novo Nordisk Inc. is working in partnership with an organization called Cinderella's Closet and we are happy to assisting them. Cinderella's Closet is a not for profit organization that is dedicated to promoting self-esteem among young adults by providing less fortunate high school students in our community the opportunity to attend their prom in style. They seek to raise awareness of the socio-economic differences that exist in the local area, while advocating inclusiveness and diversity. The goal is to ensure that no high school student has to forfeit the lifelong memories associated with attending their prom due to financial hardship.
In February, Novo Nordisk and Monday Morning Flowers will begin a collection of prom dresses, boys suits, ties, accessories, shoes, makeup, handbags, scarves, shawls & costume jewelry (see attached flyer). Once the collection period ends, they plan to host a "prom boutique" in their facility in Princeton on Saturday, March 3rd. This is where the girls and boys will come and shop for their prom attire from the items they have collected, free of charge of course. The boutique is open to high school students who are in need of prom attire and who have limited financial means. These young adults are identified as "in need" by their guidance counselors, principals, clergy etc.  

We hope you’re able to participate in this endeavor. Your support toward this worthy initiative is greatly appreciated! f you have any questions feel free to contact us at 609.520.2005 and if you'd like to donate a slightly used prom dress, shoes or jewelry, feel free to drop them off at either of our locations - Princeton Forrestal Village or 45 E. Afton Ave, Yardley.

"Make room in your closet while helping high school students at the same time”


Location: 111 Main St, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA
