WE COLLECT DONATIONS OF NEW AND LIKE-NEW FORMAL GOWNS AND ACCESSORIES AND PROVIDE THEM FREE OF CHARGE TO HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS WHO WOULD OTHERWISE BE UNABLE TO ATTEND THEIR FORMAL EVENTS. WE ARE DEDICATED TO PROMOTING CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM TO HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS AND STRIVE TO HELP THEM ATTEND THEIR FORMAL EVENTS IN STYLE, REGARDLESS OF FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCE. WHILE THE GIRLS MAY BE FOCUSED ON THEIR DRESS, WE ARE FOCUSED ON THEM. OUR MISSION IS FOR EACH GIRL TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT, GRACE AND LOVE. ON BOUTIQUE DAY WE SURROUND YOUNG LADIES IN THE HOUSTON AREA WITH POSITIVE ROLE MODELS AND SHOW THEM GRACE AND LOVE JUST FOR BEING THEM; NO STRINGS ATTACHED. WE WELCOME GIRLS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND CELEBRATE THEM AS THEY LEARN ABOUT WHAT DEFINES TRUE BEAUTY. OUR BOUTIQUE DAY IS A HIGH -ENERGY WEEKEND OPEN TO JUNIOR AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS, WHEN WE GIVE AWAY GOWNS! EACH GIRL IS PAIRED WITH A PERSONAL SHOPPER WHO HELPS HER SELECT AND TRY ON DRESSES, SHOES, AND JEWELRY. ALL ITEMS ARE THEIRS TO KEEP.
