The Corsage Project – Making an Impact One Dress at a Time

Created in 2000, The Corsage Project is a community-based program of the Children's Aid Foundation organized by a committee of volunteers from the Toronto area. The Corsage Project helps economically disadvantaged high school students attend their prom by providing free formal-wear. Each year, we assist approximately 250 young women who are graduating from Toronto high schools at our Boutique Ball – an incredible event that brings together women of all ages to share in the excitement of the day and celebrate the achievements of our participants.

On this special day, our event space is transformed into a giant shopping bazaar, featuring hundreds of dresses organized by size and colour and tables showcasing shoes, purses, jewellery and accessories.

Corsage Girls shop the various wares with their personal shopper until they complete their look and are then treated to a mini-makeover and goodie bags filled with gifts from our sponsors.

Our 2013 Boutique Ball was held on Sunday, April 21st.
Applications for our 2014 event are not being accepted at this time.

To our incredible sponsors and volunteers,

Thank you for giving so generously of your time and resources. Our 12th annual Boutique Ball was a smashing success thanks to your help. This year we assisted 275 young women and every year we are able to help more because of you.

We thank you also for your many suggestions and creative ideas, which have helped our event grow and evolve. Please continue to keep in touch and look for us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. We look forward to seeing you all next year!

To our beautiful Corsage Girls,
