The Cinderella Project visited C. A. Johnson High School on Saturday and set up a “boutique” for the school district’s students. The Columbia Young Lawyers Association set up the project with the help of Sorority Council and gathered dresses, makeup, shoes and jewelry for the high school girls to have for prom. Columbia-area high schools received letters inviting them to take part in the project. Underprivileged girls from area schools were invited, said Kim Mulham, residence hall director of South Tower. Sorority Council President Alice Kimball said this past week she was excited about the project and hoped it would be successful. “I think it’s a wonderful idea and a I-1 wonderful cause,” she said. She said the project was attempted two years ago, but only about 30 dresses were donated. That year, the students had to come to USC to try on the dresses. This year, the Cinderella Project went to the schools, and Kimball hoped for donations of about 200 dresses to ensure the success of the project. They ended up with almost 400 dresses, Mulham said. About 40 girls took home dresses, Mulham said. They also chose shoes, jewelry and makeup to complete their prom-night outfits. “Every girl that came in found a dress,” Mulham said. “I think it was an awesome project to undertake.” Mulham said the dresses were high quality. “It wasn’t like a thrift store. [The boutique] had beautiful dresses like Vera Wang and Jessica McClintock that I couldn’t even afford for myself.” Mulham said die project could be even more successful in the future if the sororities were notified farther in advance — perhaps before Christmas break — so they could donate dresses they have left at home.
