A Good Cause

This spring, I have decided that we are going to focus a bit more on our civic responsibilities as a family. We are going to participate in the March of Dimes Walk for Babies in May and are committed to raising $200---we better get going on that! This "first" for our family prompted me to look at some other opportunities to get involved in the community, and the Fairy Godmothers Program just jumped out at me! I am not even sure if I can volunteer for this one (I would love to), but just love what they are all about!! Basically, the fairy godmother team spends the year collecting donated prom gowns/accessories and holds a prom fair each spring for area high school juniors and seniors who are actively enrolled in school and could otherwise not afford a gown! Hundreds of volunteers from the community sign up to be "personal shoppers" for the day and spend the afternoon outfitting the girls in prom attire. As they say on their website "We may not actually have magic wands, but we create a little magic for each and every girl who attends one of our prom fairs." I just love this idea and applaud the folks who work hard year round to make this event a reality!! I certainly hope to be a personal shopper this March 20--if you are in the Rochester area and are interested, please visit the site and sign up! http://www.fairygodmothersrochester.com/
