The Party Dress Project accepts gently used, short teen party dresses from Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Confirmations, Dance Classes, Graduations, Dances, etc. for donations to create a greater selection of dresses. The Party Dress Project Boutique is an exciting event filled with your favorite shopping routines, such as dress trying, buying the perfect fit, refreshments to refuel your shopping energy, and exciting raffle prizes such as spa services and local gift and clothing boutique gift certificates.
“The Party Dress Project has made such a powerful impact on smaller non-profits on the North Shore including A Safe Place – an organization that I am on the board of. They walked in one day and handed us a check for over $10,000. I am thrilled to help them grow the event in the larger space of the Mercedes showroom at Autohaus Edens so they can continue to support the smaller nonprofits including this years partner, The Willow House,” says Michael Rosengarden, President of Autohaus on Edens.
