WHERE CHARITY MEETS GLAM ON PROM DAY
PROM 2019
Our Mission THE
Giving The Glam provides an incredible prom experience for underserved urban and suburban high school seniors. We cover the cost of all attire and accessories for students who couldn’t otherwise afford to participate in their prom. Students are given an opportunity to attend their event in style, while we make a large impact on their self-esteem and confidence. “My past has given me the gift of giving.” Maristela Rapo – Founder

About Us
THE
Giving The Glam is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Massachusetts. It was created and established in 2014 by philanthropist Maristela Rapo and her daughter Alexis Rapo. Alexis introduced her mother to the Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity (METCO) program coordinator from her school, Dover-Sherborn. Maristela worked with the coordinator to identify underserved students who would benefit from this program. We work with young men and women who all come from different backgrounds and are each being faced with unique challenges. Giving The Glam comes into their lives and helps guide and motivate them to overcome their challenges by building their self-esteem and by acquiring a newfound confidence to help them create a viable plan for their own future. Our organization helps financially challenged teens enjoy their high school prom experience. Each participant is provided with everything he or she will need to enjoy the prom in style – gowns, tuxedos, accessories, hair and makeup, professional photos, a video and car service to the venue. But in the end, it’s not so much about the clothes, hair and makeup as it is about the rite of passage. From the young person’s point of view, it’s the opportunity and experience of a lifetime. Students are selected in coordination with Massachusetts Student Grant Programs including the Metropolitan Council for Educational Opportunity (METCO) and the Boston Police Department’s District B-3 Community Service Officers. Giving The Glam is making a difference in people’s lives. Perhaps one of last year’s students put it best: “To get compliments was not only nice to hear, but also empowering. It made me feel a new confidence in myself that I never knew I could have. That is exactly how I felt on my prom night…and how I still feel today.”

Season Work Process
THE
While prom season doesn’t come around until May, the Giving The Glam process starts early in January. First, the team helps each candidate choose his tuxedo or her dress. The next step is the fitting and by the middle of March we have completed the fittings. During March and April, our team starts choosing accessories to make sure that all candidates are dressed their very best. As May and June come around, the big day finally arrives. The entire Giving The Glam team comes together for makeup, hair, manicure and to give the outfits the final touch. Prom is an unforgettable milestone for these students and Giving The Glam gives them the opportunity to attend the prom, make life long memories, and build confidence.

Founders MARISTELA RAPO I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I grew up in a very impoverished community and with that came many challenges. There were many times where I couldn’t participate in certain activities because my family simply couldn’t afford it. It was very difficult to feel left out in these situations, as many of my friends were lucky enough to be able to afford these privileges.
Maristela Rapo Founder and President,
When I was 17 years old, I saved enough money to leave Brazil and move to Europe where my passion for fashion was officially born! I am the former proprietor of two high-end boutiques, Wolford and Giuseppe Zanotti. After so many years in the fashion industry, I finally found a way to use my fashion expertise to make a difference and give back to all community! “My past has given me the gift of giving!”

ALEXIS RAPO Alexis Rapo is the daughter of Maristela Rapo and is one of the founders of Giving The Glam. Her career in Giving the Glam started in 2014, when Alexis connected Maristela Rapo with the METCO coordinator from Dover-Sherborn High School, knowing that Maristela could use her fashion expertise to help a kid in need, and from there, Giving The Glam was formed.
Alexis Rapo
Alexis has a very tight bond with this program, and she dedicates a lot of her time helping alongside her mother. You can find her helping pick out gowns with the girls, making the final adjustments on fitting days, or find her dancing with the participants on their prom day. Alexis loves helping make a difference in these kids’ lives!

SOCIAL IMPACT Giving The Glam is able to help financially challenged students feel included in their high school communities. Far too often these individuals are left out of many experiences due to no fault of their own and for them to finally experience this inclusion is an amazing thing to witness. Giving the Glam creates an experience that they will never forget.

NEED Financial constraints put unnecessary burdens on students and serve to alienate them from the rest of their student body at a time when they most need community. Giving The Glam attempts to fill this need by giving everyone the opportunity to enjoy a high school prom, regardless of financial circumstances. By developing their self-confidence, we prepare these young people for the next chapter in their lives.

2019 PROGRAM AT A GLANCE This year the Giving The Glam program was filled with great accomplishments. We started the program by selecting the students in October 2018. Next we helped the students find their gowns and tuxedos. On April 25, 2019 we had our fundraiser reception event. In the months of May and June there were eleven prom days at our students’ area schools. On these special days we worked hard to get the participants looking their best and ready to enjoy an experience to remember!

Together, we accomplished a lot in 2019.
The Giving the Glam Prom 2019 program accomplished its goal to help one hundred and fifty-four high school students from twenty-two different schools in Massachusetts. This group of young people could have the ultimate prom experience. The recipients received everything they needed including formal wear, accessories, shoes, make-up, hair styling, photos, and transportation for this most memorable day.

*Giving The Glam’s goal for 2020 is to provide a memorable prom day for one hundred and fifty high school students. We set our yearly goals with the intent of helping as many students as we can. These goals are only reached with the commitment and strong support of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, core staff and other professionals with whom we collaborate. Providing a quality experience to our participants takes precedence over rapidly increasing the numbers of those we serve. The aim of our organization is excellence in all we do. www.givingtheglam.org
