It's the 10 year anniversary of the Kapiolani Medical Center prom!πππ
Our hearts overflow with gratitude! Whenever we reach out to the community to say we want to help more girls, you all respond in a dynamic way! Thank you to those who have already donated or will be donating to us before May 1st. You are helping the critically ill children of Kapiolani Medical Center have their "prom." The power of Bella is strong!

Loving these memories of Kapiolani Medical Prom!
This is Olivia receiving approximately 60 brand new dresses dropped off at Kapiolani Medical Center to get ready for prom next week. Due to the critical nature of the participants, only brand new dresses can be given to the patients. We are fortunate to have the monetary and in - kind donations to provide for the critically ill young ladies. (Tuxedo stores, provide rentals for the guys.) Kapiolani Medical's Prom is on Saturday, April 23rd.

Loving these memories when we were able to send dresses to Maui!
Dresses are flying to Maui in style thanks to Georges Aviation! Because of George, the Bella Project is able to help the high school girls on Maui. We are very fortunate to have this support! Thanks George!
Last night, I was approached by someone I never met before she said, "You are with the Bella Project! I'm a teacher of low income kids and I tell all of them 'when it is time to go to prom, go find the Bella Project, they will help you out!' Thank you for helping the girls for all these years!" β€οΈπβ€οΈ
Blast from the past! Twelve (12) years ago, The Bella Project was held in the Ala Moana incubator. What's an incubator? Ala Moana used to have a space that allowed small businesses to "try out" a retail space on a temporary basis. They allowed us to giveaway dresses in the incubator.ππβ€οΈπ

By May 2016, we had already given away 1500+ dresses!πβ€οΈπβ€οΈ

Ten years ago, we were in the ING building in Waikiki (now closed). We could only see 3 girls at a time and they had to try on dresses in the conference room with the big table in the middle of them! Not much room, but we made it work. πβ€οΈπ
The Bella Project is coming up on multiple anniversaries. April 2009 was original start date and, April 2013 The Bella Project nonprofit spun off of the Junior League of Honolulu. We will be posting multiple throw-backs leading up to our anniversary. Stay tuned to see the last 14 years unfold.πβ€οΈπππ

No prom, no problem. Dress to impress at anytime for any reason!
One pic leads to another! Bellas, many of you missed your proms and are stuck at home. Go pull out your dress and if ok'd by your parent(s) send to us or attach to this thread. We want to make people smile during this quarantined time. πβ€π You can never be overdressed...just have fun!

Back in 2020, the accessory was the facemask!
Pic 3! Fitting accessory for the current environment!β€ππI'm loving this! Beat the boredom, put on a prom dress and smile.

In 2020, proms were shutting down, but that didn't stop our Bellas from wearing their gowns from us!πβ€οΈπ
Proms may be cancelled but that doesn't stop this Bella from wearing her dress around the house and often! Keeping spirits up is all that matters! β€πit's more than a dress!
