Organize a Dress Drive

Perhaps your school or club is looking for a service project.  Consider holding a Dress Drive to create inventory for Caitlin’s Closet.  Often formal dresses are worn once and then relegated to the back of the closet, never to be enjoyed again.  Throw open those closet doors and allow your dress to have a second chance to shine!  The gown that made you feel like a princess can work the same magic for another, less privileged teen. 

Organizing a dress drive is easy and fun!  Contact your friends, school mates, neighbors, even recent graduates from your school who may have a well-loved, but lightly used, dress hiding away.  Once all the dresses have been collected, contact Caitlin at brunellfoundation@hotmail.com to coordinate shipping arrangements.

Caitlin’s Closet provides prizes for each gown that equals 10 points and also for gowns in the most needed size categories (sizes 10 and up).  But the biggest prize, by far, will be the knowledge that you helped other teens attend the very same events that you so thoroughly enjoyed.
