Mary Lou Andre at the Fourth Annual Dress for Success Self Sufficiency Luncheon held at the Copley Plaza Boston. Pictured with Mary Lou is Jacqui Budd, DFS Board President, and Nancy Schneider, DFS co-founder.
Sponsored by Anton’s Cleaners, a family- owned chain of 43 stores in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire, Belle of the Ball cleans and distributes prom dresses to local high school junior and senior girls who would otherwise not have the opportunity to attend their school’s prom. Access to the boutique is by referral from guidance counselors, teachers and social service agency representatives. Once registered, each girl who attends the "boutique" at Simmons College in Boston is assisted by a volunteer personal shopper to make sure that she finds the right dress.
We are pleased to be partnering with Anton’s for the sixth year in a row by training the volunteer personal shoppers and assisting with prom dress selections. It’s a fun and worthwhile event and volunteers are needed. If you would like to be a personal shopper at this year’s boutique, please contact Danielle DiGiovanni, Belle of the Ball Coordinator, at 617-328-0069 or
