WHERE CHARITY MEETS GLAM ON PROM DAY
PROM 2017
Our Mission The goal of Giving The Glam is to provide a truly memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience for high school students who may not otherwise have the financial resources to attend their own school prom in a way that makes them feel unique and special. But with Giving The Glam’s help, they don’t just attend their prom, they make a glamour statement. This experience not only improves self-esteem and self-confidence, it also provides an indelible frame of reference to strive for the best of what life has to offer. As a philanthropic organization, Giving The Glam covers all the expenses including attire, hair, makeup, accessories, photography and transportation. Giving The Glam exists to make a positive, confidence-building impact on young lives.

About Us
THE
Giving The Glam (givingtheglam.org) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Massachusetts. It was created and established by visionary philanthropist and noted fashionista Maristela Rapo. 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. We deal 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. Giving The Glam helps financially disadvantaged teens enjoy a top shelf high school prom experience. Each student participant is provided with everything she or he will need to experience their prom in style – gowns, tuxes, accessories, hair and makeup, professional photos, a video, car service to the venue, even a hotel room to get ready for the big event. Sounds fancy, and it is. 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.”

Giving the Glam • Prom 2017
What We Do - And Why We Do It Think back to when you were getting ready for your senior prom…you had to shop for a nice dress, go try a bunch of them on, feel the anxiety and indecision, then buy one and hope that you made the right decision. Then, there were the shoes… and the accessories… and the hair and make up. Or, you had to go out and rent a tux…and hope that you didn’t look too stiff or uncomfortable in it. In the months leading up to prom season, the Giving The Glam team works closely with selected students and their families to ensure that individual prom needs are met. They get to chose from a wide variety of dresses and have hair and makeup sessions. On the day of the prom, each student receives personalized attention from the Giving The Glam team to every aspect of their prom experience. Young women receive their prom dresses, accessories, hair styling, makeup and manicures. Young men receive their tux rentals, accessories, haircuts and styling services. Giving The Glam prom participants also receive: • Professional Photography to help capture and commemorate the event • Professional Video to help make lasting impressions • Hotel to help our students get ready for the big event • Car Service to the prom – so our students can arrive in style Since each student participant and prom experience is unique, the services we provide can vary. Please contact us for more information about our services and our prom program… givingtheglam.org…or, maristela@givingtheglam.org. 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. www.givingtheglam.org

About the Founder
Maristela Rapo Founder, Giving The Glam Maristela@givingtheglam.org
Maristela Rapo is the former founder of the style advice website Fashion Moi Moi and the former owner of two fashion boutiques: Wolford in New York and Boston and Giuseppe Zanotti in the Boston. She is passionate about fashion and the idea that everyone deserves to look and feel their best, regardless of economic status. She was born and grew up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She cites her own humble beginnings as the inspiration for starting Giving The Glam. “I grew up with very little, so I really appreciated it whenever someone did something to make me feel special. Now it’s my turn to give back. Since the prom season of 2014, she has been doing just that. She initiated her Giving The Glam project by awarding one student a prom makeover in 2014. The experience was such a success that by the following year, the number of students receiving the full Giving The Glam treatment jumped to twenty. In 2016, Giving The Glam supported thirty-five girls and sixteen boys as they prepared for their proms throughout the season. In 2017, Giving The Glam supported fifty-three girls and twenty-seven boys from fifteen schools. “Giving The Glam’s goal for 2018 is to provide a memorable prom day for one hundred twenty young people.”

The Giving the Glam Prom 2017 program accomplished its goal to help eighty high school students from fifteen different schools in Massachusetts. The founder of the program Maristela Rapo invested her own resources and donated all the items to those young people so they could have the ultimate prom experience. Along with the help of her team each recipient received a full prom day experience such as formal wear, accessories, make-up, shoes, photos, and transportation for the most memorable day of their life.

Giving The Glam Support Made It Possible Witney Clervil : Since I was little my mom always taught me to say thank you when someone did something for you. Now, I feel it’s the smallest word I can say when someone like you Maristela have done the fullest for me. They are no words to express how special you are to me. You have treated me like your daughter since the first day we met till the end. I am thankful for the giving the glam team because you guys I’ve made my dream a reality. I enjoyed every single second of that night. I can’t pay back for all of your gratitude towards me but I want you to know that you are in my heart and I will always remember this moment. Jessica Andrade : There is no words to describe how thankful I am for all that you have done for us! There’s a lot of people with big hearts in this world, and you are one of them. You took us in as if we were part of your family and you embraced us with your love, and kindness. Since the first meeting you took care of all the details and you respected our choices and gave us great fashion tips that we will for sure use them for the rest of life. Because of you now I know how it is like to be a queen for a day! You gifted me with one of the most amazing days of my life, so I thank you again!
Ida Alves : Give the glam was the best thing that happened to me because I get the opportunity to meet an amazing woman who is willing to help other. There is no words to describe how much you did for me. I will never forget this experience and you. Te amo. Sherley Valeus : One thing I learned from Mrs. Maristela Rapo is to give back. I want to say thank you for making my senior prom a memorable night. I will always remember how you reminded me of the beautiful black princess that I am. Thanks for everything you and your team have done for me. Sayed Shah : We didn’t only enjoy the few hours of prom but also had a great day at the hotel with our friends, you and Giving the Glam team. I thought, I will miss the good part of the our day, the RIDE IN LIMO. But the Police officer gave me that opportunity as well. He drove my car and I rode with my friends on the Limo to our prom destination. It was a lot of fun and I will never forget your goodness for us. I will remember it as one of the best day in my life. Thanks again and I wish you continue the great work and bring smile to many faces.
Amal Ibrahim : At the beginning of the year, I wasn’t planning to go to prom, because I could not afford the dress and everything else. I remember when my sister Halima told me that we got selected for the Giving the Glam, I was very happy and I already had imaginations for prom and the dresses, I was so excited. Since I met Maristela I was so glad that I met someone like her, very nice, kind, open minded loves everyone and her job. The staff were all friendly and putting their effort to make us to look beautiful and had the best choice for us. I am very thankful every single thing that Maristela and the Staff did for me. I am also thankful for Ms. Nova for organizing us everything from November to May. and lastly but least thanks to the police for selecting our school. I learnt a lot from them, I hope one day I can give back what Giving the Glam gave us. Fatima Ibrahim : I want to thank you so much for your time, energy, and effort to make our prom a great experience that we will never forget. I am so honored to meet someone who’s every giving and caring. You made me become the prom queen and have confidence. If I thank you from now until one year from now that won’t be enough. Thank you so much.
