This is the13th year that Fairy Godmothers, Inc. -- a Doylestown non-profit -- has organized the $10 gown sale. They also sell accessories for $2-$6.
Lisa Marie Heyward of Fairy Godmothers explains, "It's really an exciting event. The people who volunteer are so warm and get a nice fuzzy feeling about helping the girls, because the girls who come to our event really can't afford to go to their prom. So we make it possible for them to go. You'll have girls who leave actually crying along with their parents because they're finally able to go out on their prom without it being a financial burden to their parents."Many of the gowns are new with tags, donated by the event's major sponsor, David's Bridal. Sizes range from zero to 28. The sale starts at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday March 9, 16 and 23, 2013. The Cheltenham Mall is located at 2385 West Cheltenham Ave. Philadelphia, Pa. 19150.
