Family Matters to Host ‘Dresses for Dreams’ Benefit Event

Family Matters of Greater Washington, a nonprofit organization, will host a Networking Reception for its third Annual Dresses for Dreams event.

The reception will take place on March 28 at the Dirty Martini in Dupont Circle. Hosted by Remy Martin and WPGC’s “Sunni and the City,” the event will feature cocktails and appetizers.

Admission to the event is the donation of a gently-used/ new dress or $20. These collected items will be used to create a boutique for teenage girls to come and select free dresses, shoes, and accessories. At the boutique, each teenage girl will also have the opportunity to interact with professional stylists and win a free hair styling, manicure, or make-up application, as well as a round-trip chauffeured sedan for Prom night.

The 2014 Dresses for Dreams boutique events will be held on the following dates and at the following locations:

• April 10, 4-8 pm, Anacostia Library, 1800 Good Hope Road, S.E.
