Belle of the Ball 2025 Prom Dress Collection Through March 16
Enterprise Bank is proud to serve as a corporate sponsor again this year with Anton’s Cleaners and Jordan’s Furniture for the Belle of the Ball prom dress collection program. Through March 16, all 27 Enterprise Bank branches will accept donations of gently worn, trendy, prom dresses and gowns. If prom dresses and gowns are taking up precious space and making your closet feel crowded, please consider donating them to the Belle of the Ball program.
Prom is one of the biggest life events and a major milestone for high school girls. For students with limited financial resources, prom can be a source of tremendous stress.
The Belle of the Ball prom dress drive provides the opportunity for hundreds of girls to attend “Boutique Day” and choose a complete prom outfit including a stylish dress, shoes, handbag, and jewelry so they can attend their prom feeling beautiful and confident. Belle of the Ball provides prom gowns and accessories to high school junior and senior girls from participating schools throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire who otherwise could not afford to attend their prom.
In preparation for Boutique Day, all gowns collected are professionally dry cleaned by Anton’s Cleaners. A volunteer crew organizes and arranges the dresses by size and color and displays them on clothing racks. Since the program’s inception in 2005, more than 76,000 prom gowns have been collected and cleaned for local students. More than 200 schools throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire participate in the program.
On Boutique Day, the highlight of the program, hundreds of deserving girls attend an invitation-only day of personal shopping and pampering. The invited girls are assisted by Boutique Day volunteer personal shoppers who help them choose a prom gown. Once a dress is selected, additional “shops” are visited and volunteer consultants are available to help with shoes, purses, and jewelry to complete the perfect coordinated prom ensemble.
This community effort perfectly aligns with Enterprise Bank’s founding mission “to help create…. vibrant, prosperous communities.”
