Cinderella Project Accepting Formal Gowns for Prom

The South Carolina Bar Young Lawyer Division is taking donations for the Cinderella Project, which provides gently worn formal gowns, shoes and accessories for high school girls who can’t afford to purchase the items for their prom.

Area high school students are invited to attend a boutique to "shop" for a dress and other items at no cost.

The Columbia boutique will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. March 3 at the USC School of Law auditorium. Girls only need to bring their student ID.

When making a donation, dresses should be clean and on hangers.
