Passion for Fashion 2010
A Day of Fun and Pampering for Cheyenne River's Teen Girls
Date: Saturday, March 13, 2010
Time: 1:00pm - 10:00pm
Location: Cokata Wiconi Teen Center/ Eagle Butte, SD
Description
The Cheyenne River Youth Project -- in Eagle Butte, South Dakota -- has begun preparations for one of its longest-running and most popular teen programs: Passion for Fashion. This annual event, created in 2001, provides support for teens who may not have the financial means to purchase prom essentials such as formal wear, jewelry and makeup; it also promotes intergenerational exchange, bonding and positive self-esteem and body image.
This year's Passion for Fashion will take place at CRYP's Cokata Wiconi Teen Center on Saturday, March 13. All high-school girls on the Cheyenne River reservation will receive personalized invitations; however, Cheyenne River's junior-high girls are welcome to attend as well.

To make a financial contribution, either mail to the above address or simply visit the youth project's Web site at www.lakotayouth.org, click "Help CRYP" and select "Monetary Donations."
To ensure that CRYP staff and volunteers have time to prepare for the Passion for Fashion event on March 13, please send all packages and contributions by March 10. The youth project also will gladly accept late donations, since many teens who are unable to attend the event itself will pick up their dresses at a later date. Donations for next year are welcome as well!

Consider Volunteering:
If you are a woman and live in the Cheyenne River area we would love your help for the day! And don't worry, we aren't looking for experts! We need people for:
* Hair Styling
* Make-Up Application
* Manis and Pedis
* Facials
* Style Consulting (Helping the girls find a dress and accessories)
* Set-up and Take-down
* Serving Luncheon
* And any lady that just wants to attend and talk with the girls
AND the MOST IMPORTANT way you can help. . .
Invite young women!! We will be able to host a huge number of girls this year, so spread the word! Let every Cheyenne River teen girl you know about the event. Even if they already have a dress, the event is about so much more: bonding, being pampered, talking about self esteem and body image, and winning tons of cool prizes.
