WESLEY CHAPEL – Hope Services is providing a prom-style celebration for young people with disabilities.
The fifth annual Dance Your Dream will allow guests 14 and older to enjoy a night of music, dancing and fun – complete with a raffle and silent auction to raise funding in support of the nonprofit’s mission.
The Land O’ Lakes nonprofit provides vocational training and job readiness for people with disabilities and others facing barriers to employment.
This year’s Dance Your Dream celebration will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. April 18 at Wesley Chapel District Park. Sponsorships are available, with proceeds benefiting Hope Services’ Life Skills and Vocational Training Center.
Hope Services is helping girls prepare for Dance Your Dream.
Girls ages 14 and older will have the opportunity to select a free dress of their choice to wear to Dance Your Dream during a Gowns for Girls pop-up event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 14 at Wesley Chapel District Park.
At the pop-up, attendees can browse more than 1,500 formal gowns and dresses in a variety of styles, colors and sizes. Each gown has been donated by members of the community and local partners.
“This is our first opportunity to offer Gowns for Girls in partnership with founder Stephanie Brown, and we are so excited to bring this special experience to our community,” said Cindy Bray, founder and CEO of Hope Services. “It is a wonderful opportunity for girls to walk away with a beautiful dress completely free. We cannot wait to see all the beautiful gowns and watch the red carpet at Dance Your Dream, filled with smiling faces and stunning dresses on that special night.”
Hope Services also plans to host a special event providing complimentary suits for men attending the dance. Those interested are encouraged to visit hopegetsjobs.org or follow Hope Services on social media for event updates.
