Belle of the Ball Project

Belle of the Ball Project is a 501(C) 3 non-profit organization, which provides homecoming and prom dresses to high school girls in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk, Hernando, Citrus. and surrounding counties for their high school dances. Homecoming 2017 shopping days are

September 23, September 30, October 14 and October 21

All shopping days are held on Saturdays. Hours are 10am to 2pm. No appointments are necessary, nor do we make them. These are the ONLY days to receive a dress.

Our boutique is located at 1210 Holt Ave. Clearwater, FL 33755 and is open ONLY on designated shopping days. We are not open year round.

Our mission statement is “No girl should be denied the opportunity to attend her high school dance because of financial difficulties”

We are a 100% volunteer organization and rely on donations and volunteers.We distribute dresses twice yearly, usually 4 dates in the fall for homecoming and 4 dates again in the spring for prom. High school girls can also get dresses for home school dances and military balls during these dates. Our volunteers have created a beautifully decorated 5,000 sq. ft. boutique for girls` shopping enjoyment. Girls can choose from over 3,000 dresses organized by size and color. Many of the dresses are new with tags

Girls qualify for a dress if they appear in person and attest that they are currently having financial difficulties. No documentation is necessary. We provide all forms. Girls also qualify if they have been referred by school or agency officials, or other non-profit organization. No referral letter is required. We operate on the honor system
