Every girl dreams of going to her high school prom in a beautiful gown, feeling like Cinderella on the arm of her Prince Charming. For some, the high cost of prom keeps that special dream from becoming a reality.

The Cinderella Affair is an all-volunteer project supported by Tempe Community Council, the City of Tempe and the East Valley Women's League. It is our mission to make attending prom affordable for all Phoenix-area high school junior and senior students. The program was founded in 2002 to assist girls by collecting and distributing gently-used formalwear. High school junior and senior girls are invited to attend a boutique in the Spring, where they shop for a dress and accessories free of charge. Volunteers act as personal shoppers, working diligently to make the whole experience unforgettable. A few of our dedicated volunteers even work as seamstresses, doing on-the-spot alterations, making sure the dresses are a perfect fit. In 2007, the Cinderella Affair assisted girls from 46 high schools. For additional information, click here.

The Cinderella Affair has also provided dresses for exchange students from the Tempe Sister Cities program, the clients of the Hacienda de Los Angels, and young ladies participating in the Miss CHAMPION Pageant.

In 2004, The Cinderella Affair expanded to lend a hand to some Prince Charmings in need of assistance with tuxedo rentals. By working closely with Mr. Formal, a local tuxedo rental chain, The Cinderella Affair is able to supply a number of tuxedo rentals free of charge to the Valley's male students in need. Information about this part of our program can be found by clicking here.
