NORTHBROOK — Zengeler Cleaners and the Glass Slipper Project (GSP) have announced the renewal of their partnership that helps thousands of high school women experience the joy of prom.
The cleaners writes that it looks forward to its 17th year working with the GSP. As the official Chicagoland north suburban collection point for GSP, they’ll accept donations of lovingly-worn prom dresses and accessories at all eight (8) of its locations in Lake and Cook counties in northern Illinois.
“The Glass Slipper Project is extremely excited to welcome back Zengeler Cleaners as an official drop-off location for our 2018 collection drive,” notes Liz Kores, a volunteer member of the Board of Directors for Glass Slipper Project.
“Their ongoing support of GSP is truly amazing. We are fortunate to have many individuals and businesses that combine to make our efforts a success,” she adds.
The Glass Slipper Project was founded by women who recognized that many girls cannot afford the luxury of spending big dollars for prom, no matter how special that night may be.
The organization distributes the formal dresses and accessories free of charge to these students at Glass Slipper "boutiques," where each student receives individual assistance from a volunteer "personal shopper."
“Zengeler Cleaners looks forward to another fabulous collection effort on behalf of the Glass Slipper Project,” says Tom Zengeler, president of the cleaning company.
“Their work provides an extremely important service for teenagers in low income communities at a very vulnerable time in their lives. We are proud of our 17-year relationship with Glass Slipper and are excited about the upcoming collection drive,” he adds.
Local support for GSP has increased annually since it was founded nearly 20 years ago. The Glass Slipper Project (GSP) is an all-volunteer organization that helps make the prom experience a dream come true each year for thousands of high school women.
