We collect new and almost-new formal dresses, shoes and accessories, and provide them free of charge to Ottawa area high school students who are unable to purchase their own prom attire.
We distribute the dresses and accessories during our scheduled Boutique Days. Each student receives individual assistance from a volunteer personal shopper as she looks through our inventory for the dress of her dreams.
To date we have dressed over 1500 Ottawa area girls for their high school prom
Our ultimate goal is to have a positive influence on our Cinderellas by helping them to look and feel beautiful celebrating their accomplishments alongside their peers on prom night.
Graduating high school students who are unable to purchase their own prom attire are eligible to attend Fairy Godmother's Boutique Days.
We currently rely on students' honesty to verify financial need. Each student will be allowed to borrow a single dress and related accessories.

Fairy Godmother accepts donations of formal dresses, shoes, purses, jewelry and unopened cosmetics and hosiery.
Donations should be in new or almost-new condition.
We are only seeking current-style gowns. Before donating, ask yourself if you would wear, or allow your daughter or best friend to wear, the item to a formal event — if the answer is “YES” then it is appropriate for donation to Fairy Godmother.
Donations can be dropped off at any Browns Cleaners location.

Please be aware that we have a limited supply of dresses in sizes 20 and larger.
