The Corsage Project's Boutique Ball is a special program that gives high school girls in need an opportunity to celebrate the milestone of her high school prom with pride and style.  Formal gowns, accessories, shoes and make-up consultations are provided free of charge to Toronto area high school girls who are unable to purchase their own prom attire. This opportunity helps put the girls on equal footing with their peers and enjoy one of the most memorable of high school experiences.

 

The students who attend the Boutique Ball have been identified through confidential referrals from school guidance counselors, the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto and social workers or have come forward themselves.  For many of these girls this is the only way they would be able to attend their prom - and through the Boutique Ball they are able to do so while looking great. 


The Corsage Project’s 2010 Boutique Ball was a great success.  More than 250 girls were assisted by a personal shopper to select a dress of their liking; a dream of many young women. Over 200 volunteers took every opportunity to tell these girls how fantastic and beautiful they looked - something too many of these girls don’t hear enough. Young women who had started the day off reserved and wary were giggling and beaming by the end of the event, which the Corsage Project committee members count as a great success.



The Corsage Project accepts donations, through the Children's Aid Foundation, year round in order to make every year a fairytale experience. For more information, please visit www.corsageproject.ca or to donate, click here.
