Belle of the Ball drive successful

With prom season just around the corner, Medfield High School freshman Gabby Christo has partnered up with Belle of the Ball on a collection drive. Belle of the Ball is an organization that cleans and distributes prom dresses and accessories to girls in need.

Gabby set up collection boxes at the high school and her home, where prom dresses could be dropped off through April 1. She collected 87 beautiful dresses that will be sure to please many young high school juniors and seniors. Dresses have been dropped off daily, with one large donation in particular from a former preschool teacher that hand-delivered eight gorgeous dresses. Many of the donations had notes attached with well wishes.

“It's amazing to think that each dress has a story to tell,” said Gabby, “and now they are going to someone who will have a new story!”
