Community event offers more than 1,500 gowns ahead of the nonprofit’s annual Dance Your Dream prom-style celebration.
WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. – Hope Services, a nonprofit organization dedicated to vocational training and job readiness for individuals with disabilities and others facing barriers to employment, is proud to announce the Gowns for Girls event, taking place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Wesley Chapel District Park in Wesley Chapel, Florida.
During the event, girls ages 14 and older will have the opportunity to select a dress of their choice—completely free of charge—to wear to Hope Services’ upcoming 5th Annual Dance Your Dream, a prom-style celebration scheduled for April 18, 2026, created especially for individuals living with disabilities.
At the Gowns for Girls pop-up, attendees can browse more than 1,500 formal gowns and dresses in a wide variety of styles, colors, and sizes. Each gown has been generously donated by members of the community and local partners to ensure every participant can experience a special night of confidence and inclusion.
“This is our first opportunity to offer Gowns for Girls in partnership with founder Stephanie Brown, and we are so excited to bring this special experience to our community. It is a wonderful opportunity for girls to walk away with a beautiful dress—completely free. We cannot wait to see all the beautiful gowns and watch the red carpet at Dance Your Dream, filled with smiling faces and stunning dresses on that special night,” said Cindy Bray, Founder and CEO of Hope Services.
Hope Services extends its sincere gratitude to Gowns for Girls, along with the sponsors and volunteers whose generosity and community spirit help make this event possible each year.
Hope Services also plans to host a special event providing complimentary suits for men attending the dance. Those interested are encouraged to visit hopegetsjobs.org or follow Hope Services on social media for additional details and event updates.
