Belle of the Ball Foundation - Making Prom Dreams Come True
Prom is one of the highlights of a young girl’s high school experience. And it is one that calls for a knock-out dress that sets her apart as the most attractive young woman at the gathering. But as formal season approaches, there are countless girls who are unable to afford a dress. The “Belle of the Ball” project was created by Rachel Hornbuckle so that all girls would be able to have a beautiful dress for their special evening. Having experienced her own life challenges, she knows the challenges that can arise sometimes when making these dreams come true. It is her belief that no young girl should have to have the stress of knowing how that night will come to life. No matter the reason or need, the important thing is that their prom dreams come true!
It is the goal of the Belle of the Ball foundation that all of the dresses are free of charge. And that everyone on their special night feels like the Belle of the Ball!
