CHARITY SPOTLIGHT
Operation B Ready …
for Prom!
By Marianne Weaver Photographs provided by Brooke Bailey Brooke Bailey, owner of Studio B in Haymarket, wants to make sure every girl has the opportunity to wear the dress of her dreams to prom. “I have always wanted to do something like this and when I had the opportunity to open up my own salon I put the plan to action,” she said. “One of our main goals at studio B is to empower young women and build confidence, through make-up lessons, hair lessons, and being able to give them the opportunity to wear a gorgeous dress on their big day.” So far, Bailey has collected about 25 dresses. But she is hoping that number climbs as she reaches out to the community to donate their gently used formal wear. Dresses are stored in a new local climate-controlled storage unit until the girls are ready to shop. Baily said she is collaborating with local schools and social workers to plan an event for students in need.
“It will be a private event so students and their families will feel special while they pick out gorgeous dresses,” she said. Studio B, 15111 Washington Street, Suite 129, Haymarket, is accepting donations Monday through Saturday. For more information, call (571) 284-7951.
