Thank You!

To our numerous volunteers & supporters ~ without your help we would not exist! I would like to highlight the following individuals & businesses:

Lisa Shaw ~ I thought I was organized until I met Lisa. Her creativity is amazing and I don't know when she finds the time to do all she does. Lisa speaks her mind and is open and honest about ideas and situations. Lisa knows what needs to be done and jumps in without being asked.

Beth Younger ~ she had devoted endless hours to supporting Giving Gown. Most recently she organized Chili's Night benefiting GG and continues to give of herself. Check out her one of a kind bags @ http://www.julie-beth.com/ a company founded by Beth (and her dear friend). Two of these great bags were auctioned off at our 1st annual Prom Preview Fashion Show (which Beth helped organize) a special GG discount was offered in conjunction with our "telethon" hosted by Fox 26 News.

Christine Russo ~ you can always count on Christine to volunteer. She is there, whether it's freezing at the crack of dawn to prepare our parade float of sweating bullets as we organize our storage. She is always available for Anything we need. I'd like to say a special Thank You to Christine for helping us with our 501(c)3 paperwork!

Dahlia ~ of Dahlia's Boutique in Tomball. She has supported us since the beginning and is a constant source of encouragement. If you've never been to her shop, it's worth the trip: 120 West Main, Tomball 281-357-8448

Lakewood Cleaners ~ not only are they a drop off point for donations, but they have cleaned countless dresses for us, allowed us to borrow racks & even donated dress bags to us: 21127 Tomball Parkway, Tomball 281-257-1744

Danielle LaPell ~ a true Fairygodmother. Danielle was one of our first volunteers, she worked every minute of Boutique Day sewing, repairing & creating non-stop. Even surgery did not keep Danielle down - although she was not able to ride on our Parade Float she made a Fairygodmother costume for us that will be used again & again. When we say "making dreams come true ... one dress at a time" Danielle take this to heart. She has made dresses especially for princesses who were unable to find a gown in their size at Boutique Day.

My Attic Storage ~ proving climate controlled storage. One unit FREE of charge & one at a reduced rate. They have even accepted delivery of our garment racks & helped transport the many boxes to our storage unit.

KSBJ Radio ~ especially Liz Jordan who heard about GG our first year when we had the opportunity to be interviewed for the morning show. It is through Liz's dedication and support that we have been given the opportunity to share our mission with many people. Liz has a heart for the Lord and shares His love with everyone she meets.

Adina Walker ~ one of the most dedicated people I know! Adina's "can do" attitude has been invaluable to our organization, which she helped create from the ground up. Her continuous drive and enthusiasm is a constant source of encouragement to me and others. She is a take-charge person who does not take "no" for an answer. Her unwavering devotion to her family, community, career and Giving Gown exemplifies her caring heart. I have been and am truly blessed by Adina.

Please know that there are many many others that support Giving Gown in all that we do. We appreaciate each and every person & business! Every gown, pair of shoes, purse, necklace, and dollar are needed and utilized to support others. Please continue to pray for us and for those we reach out to.

Thank you ALL for
making dreams come true ... one dress at a time
