Dear Beloved Community,
We're thrilled to share a significant evolution within our cherished initiative! The Cinderella Project has transformed into "Red Carpet Ready," and we couldn't be more excited about the positive impact this change will bring to our community.
Why the Change?
In our ongoing commitment to inclusivity, we're expanding our project to embrace the diversity of our youth. "Red Carpet Ready" now not only provides enchanting dresses and accessories but also includes dashing suits and masculine clothing. Every young person deserves to feel confident, celebrated, and empowered, regardless of gender identity. By widening our scope, we aim to create an environment where every youth, regardless of gender, can embrace their uniqueness and shine brightly on their special day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the Red Carpet Ready?
Red Carpet Ready at Rebound collects new and almost-new lightly used formal dresses, suits, shoes and accessories, and provide them free of charge to area school students who are unable to purchase their own for prom and graduation attire.
We distribute the clothing and accessories during our scheduled Boutique Day Pop-Up Shop. Each youth receives individual assistance from a volunteer personal shopper as they look through our inventory.
Our ultimate goal is to have a positive influence on youth by helping them to look and feel confident celebrating their accomplishments alongside their peers on these momentous occasions.
What criteria needs to be met for youth wanting to attend the annual Pop-Up Shop?
All youth 13-24 who need formal wear for their prom or graduation are invited to attend.
How can I donate a dress, suit or accessories?
Our collection of dresses', suits and accessories will begin again in January of 2025. Please hold onto any donations until then.
