VSDF - Our Children Our Future Once a year, every girl's dream of the perfect prom dress can come true. Be part of the magic!
Operation Fairy Godmother : Saturday, March 17, 2007 - Westfield Vancouver Mall

For many girls’ families, buying a dress for the prom is so far out of reach it would take a fairy godmother to make it happen. That’s where Operation Fairy Godmother comes in.

This ambitious project, started by the Vancouver School District Foundation in 2003, pairs Clark County high school girls with the dress of their dreams for a fraction of the cost. In 2007 over 2,000 formal and semiformal dresses, plus shoes, jewelry and other accessories were collected.
