Columbia, SC: February 24, 2007 – Children’s Chance is excited to partner with Dutch Square Mall and The Formal Showcase to host the first ever Dream Dress Sale to be held on Saturday, February 24, 2007 from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm at Dutch Square Mall, in the old WaldenBooks location next to the food court. Children’s Chance will be selling NEW formal gowns for only $50.00, with all proceeds from the event benefiting children with cancer and their families!

DeeAnn Jones, Executive Director of Children’s Chance and mother of a childhood cancer survivor explains, “We are so excited to host this unique event and provide the community with the opportunity to purchase formal wear at such a great price while helping children in South Carolina who are fighting cancer and their families! I really encourage the public to come out and take advantage of this event – girls getting ready for the prom or anyone who needs to update their formal wardrobe - we will have something appealing for everyone and it’s for such a great cause”.

The Dream Dress Sale will have new formal gowns for sell ranging in size from 0-22 for only $50.00, offer matching shoes for sell also, jewelry to purchase to go with the dresses, and have a stylist on-site from Kenneth Shuler School of Cosmetology to show the newest up-do’s for any formal occasion.
