A welcome from Annie

For 27 years, Cinderella’s Closet YEG has had the privilege of welcoming students through our doors and helping them find something special to wear for one of the most memorable moments of their high school years.

What began with a simple wish to help has grown into something far greater than I ever imagined. Over the years, thousands of students have walked through our doors, supported by an incredible community of volunteers, donors, schools, organizations, and friends who believe, as I do, that every student deserves to feel special at grad.

If you are coming to Cinderella’s Closet YEG, I want you to know that this experience is for you.

Try things on. Have fun. Our volunteers are here to welcome you, encourage you and help you find something that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and completely yourself. And when you find the one you love, it’s yours to keep.

There is no cost and no judgement – just a warm welcome and, hopefully, that wonderful moment when you look in the mirror and realize, this is the one.

Welcome to Cinderella’s Closet YEG. We’re so glad you’re here.

With warmth,

Founding Member, Cinderella’s Closet YEG
