Prom season is a magical time for high school juniors and seniors—a chance to celebrate milestones, create unforgettable memories, and feel like royalty for a night. But for some families, the cost of prom dresses, shoes, and accessories can be overwhelming. That’s where the 24th Annual Cinderella Affair comes in. This heartwarming event, hosted by the East Valley Women’s League (EVWL), ensures that every girl has the opportunity to shine on her special night—free of charge.
A Night to Remember, Made Possible by Community Love
The Cinderella Affair isn’t just about giving away dresses—it’s about making dreams come true. For over two decades, this beloved tradition has provided free prom attire to junior and senior girls across Tempe and the surrounding areas. From elegant gowns to sparkling jewelry and perfectly paired shoes, everything a young woman needs to feel confident and beautiful is available at this incredible giveaway.
This year, the event will take place at the stylish Dixxon Flannel Co., located at 7200 S Priest Dr, Tempe, AZ, thanks to the generosity of local sponsors like Aidan Taylor Marketing LLC and Ahwatukee411. It’s a testament to the power of community collaboration, as businesses and individuals come together to support these young women and their families.

- Feel Like Royalty: Beyond the tangible items, the Cinderella Affair offers something even more valuable: confidence. Knowing that your community believes in you and wants to see you succeed is a gift money can’t buy.
