Project Cinderella -
Most branches of service have a least one anniversary or recognition "gala" each year. For many of the spouses of the junior enlisted this is their first exposure to a formal event. These special events can be intimidating and uncomfortable considering the etiquette and protocol associated with attending these functions. In a USO-Metro needs assessment survey, 55% of military family respondents would like to see an increase in programs offered that address financial, marital, and spousal issues.
Project Cinderella is a special event that empowers women with interactive workshops such as Beauty on a Budget, Fun with Makeup and Hair, and Formal Etiquette and Protocol. After the last workshop guests are invited to visit the "Boutique" and select a "new to you" formal gown. Whether guests have attended many formal events or are preparing for their first function, Project Cinderella will leave guests feeling empowered, inspired and ready to be the belle of the ball!
USO of Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore is thrilled to host Project Cinderella 2014 thanks to the generous sponsorship of EY!
