"I just wanted to send a thank you to you and your team of volunteers for doing Gowns for Grads. All our girls came away with happy faces as they each found "the" dress. It is truly a great feeling to see that smile on their face. I thank you always for your patience and understanding in all that goes into the planning stages and the chaos that ensues on that day" - Daniel McIntyre Collegiate

"Helping a graduate find the dress of their dreams and watching her face light up….it has to be the most rewarding aspect of my involvement with Gowns for Grads. Being a part of our fashion shoot this spring was wonderful. Seeing our graduates blossom behind the camera lens was wonderful. The smiles say it all!"

I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much we appreciate being included in the Gowns for Grad program. All of our girls found dresses that make them feel good about themselves, and that will allow them to participate in formal graduation celebrations with their peers.
Your volunteers are exceptional and go above and beyond to make the Gowns for Grad experience a special and memorable one for each student. Please let them know how much their time and efforts are appreciated.
We will also continue to support the program by collecting donations from students that attended the event, as well as from other students and our community.
Thank you for all that you do!
With gratitude...💕
