(BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON, D.C.,) Wedding and event planning firms, Black Bag Productions and Events of Sophistication have geared up for another year of helping area students enjoy a special prom night. The firms collaborated in 2008 to launch The Magic Wand Project. Its mission is to provide prom attire for young men and women whose families are not able to afford the costs of gowns and tuxedos. Charitable donations of new and gently used cocktail and evening gowns/dresses, shoes and accessories, such as wraps, purses and jewelry for the young ladies and black tuxedos and suits, along with shoes and accessories such as vests, ties and cufflinks for the young men are requested.
To make prom night more special, The Magic Wand Project will hold a raffle at each pre-prom distribution event. The grand prize for the lucky winner will be a chauffeured limousine to the prom, corsage and boutonnière for the couple and a gift certificate for two at a specially selected restaurant.
The Magic Wand Project hosts official drop-offs for the donations prior to prom season as well as Magic Wand parties where students are able to select their formal attire and receive special gifts. Upcoming parties and donation drop-offs for spring 2009 are scheduled for:
