If so, grab your favorite stilettos, pumps or wedges and head on over to Country Tavern on Saturday.The Cinderella Project’s first High Heel Dash fundraiser is open to men and women ages 18 and older wearing heels that are at least 2 inches high. Registration begins at 3 p.m., and the 50-yard dash starts at 3:30 p.m.Ashley Busada, co-director of the Cinderella Project, said the idea for the High Heel Dash came about when they were trying to think of a unique fundraiser to promote the organization, which provides prom dresses to high school students who otherwise couldn’t afford them.“It just kind of fit — heels and Cinderella and prom.You are stark raving mad!Wholesale Cheap Sexy Chiffon One Shoulder Beaded Ruched A-line Long Evening/Bridesmaid Dresses All those things together made sense,” she said.This year, the nonprofit expanded its outreach to five Caddo Parish high schools.“Last year, we started with one,” Busada said. “What we do is we look at the schools that have the most free and reduced lunches, and we go from there based on the number.the va-va-voom Jennifer Lopez and the bee-stung Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Discount White Chiffon Sexy V-neck Beaded Floor-Length Caps Sleeve A-line Mother of the Bride Dresses”
Schools benefiting this year include Fair Park, Huntington, Woodlawn, Green Oaks and Booker T. Washington. The dress giveaway is March 8 at the Boys and Girls Club near the Louisiana State Exhibit Museum.“There are about 500 to 600 girls that could show up the day of our giveaway,” Busada said. “We gave away around 60 last year.Her handbag empire has risen Discount A-line Strapless Chiffon Short/Mini White Flowers Evening Prom Dresses Party Dress Our goal every year is to give away all the dresses we collect, so we hope this year to give away at least 300. We saw a huge response last year in the number of dresses we collected, so that’s how we knew we could expand.”Volunteer Kelli Smith said the dress giveaway gives these students the opportunity to have the same kind of prom as other high school students in the community.“At last year’s giveaway, the smiles on their faces, they just lit up like Christmas trees,” Smith said. “And for them to be able to go to prom and have that really nice prom dress, it’s like a little fairy tale dream come true for them.”Busada said they want to make sure that dresses are available in all sizes.“We have to raise the money so we can cover size 0 to 30-something, so that every size is available for these girls that come,” she said. “We don’t want any girl to be discouraged not to come because they don’t think we have a dress for them.”Smith encourages anyone with dresses that are no longer being worn to donate them to the Cinderella Project.“There are so many people who have a closet full of dresses that don’t know what to do with them,” she said.
