Here at Once in a Lifetime Events we have been so blessed over the years by our customers, the ones who return year after year because they can't imagine buying their gowns anywhere else or the first time buyers who fall in love with our boutique. We have always looked for ways to give back to the communities we serve. In the past 10 years we have donated over 400 gowns to various charities like Caroline's Closet, Operation Prom Atlanta and Newnan High School to benefit young ladies who could not afford to attend prom or purchase a gown.
We are currently working to create a program in our area that would help young ladies in our community wanting to go to their senior prom but due to some challenge cannot afford to do so. Our program will not just provide prom dresses and services to these girls but will serve as a "Pay it Forward" style program. As the owner of this company I believe in and commit myself and my business to the scripture Luke 12:48 ...from everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
I have been blessed with so much and in 2013 I would like to start this prom season off with a BIG (I LOVE YOU) to my supporters. The clients who buy and the ones that admire our windows every week
So I say all this to say; here is an opportunity for you the community to help us give back. We are giving away three gift certificates valued at $300 for the purchase of a gown.
Here's what you must do:
- Nominate a senior high school girl
- Email us her picture and a brief description of why you think she deserves the gown
- She must have a financial need
- She must have good grades (verifiable by a letter from guidance counselor)
- She must volunteer within the community, school or church
NOMINATIONS ACCEPTED FEBRUARY 1st to FEBRUARY 13th ONLY.
Pictures of the ladies will be posted on our Facebook page on February 14th, be sure to post comments of love for any of the girls when their pictures are posted.
On February 14th check out our blog to see how you can support the girls featured. Because all the girls featured will be deserving of the gowns the winners will be chosen randomly.
The winners will be posted on our blog and Facebook page on February 28th.

Love always,
Paul-Ann
