Cheyenne River Youth Project's Passion for Fashion Prom Dress Drive

City Fitness is again participating in a prom dress drive! Each year, the Cheyenne River Youth Project® (CRYP) holds their Passion for Fashion Prom Dress Drive to benefit Cheyenne River girls who want to attend their prom, but can’t afford new dresses. All year CRYP collects gently used special occasion dresses, shoes, purses, and accessories. CRYP then holds a special night for these girls where each girl receives a makeover and get to "shop" through the donated dresses for their prom outfit. This prom dress drive ensures that these teenage girls, who are growing up in one of the poorest communities in the US, can forget their worries and enjoy their SPECIAL NIGHT! In 2008 the D.C. was able to collect 225 dresses thanks to our local prom dress drive! School girls in the Cheyenne River have prom coming up again! You may have gotten an email last year about the dress collection for these girls and others on reservations in North and South Dakota. This year, once again, Turquoise is spearheading the drive in the D.C. Area, and trying to collect enough dresses so all the girls may go to prom and have a wonderful time looking GREAT! We ask anyone who has any dresses, shoes, jewelry, handbags, or just a few dollars to donate so these girls may have the prom experience they have worked hard for all year! Contact: Turquoise at 301-704-7406 or TurquoiseZ@yahoo.comIf you don't have anything to offer at this time we would appreciate if you could pass this along to anyone you know who might be of help. Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
