2024 Cinderella's closet 

     The 11th annual Cinderella's Closet, sponsored by Thibodaux Service League, Thibodaux High School and JOTS Birthdays is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 8th from 11-4 pm at Thibodaux High School.

     Last year, more than 50 deserving girls received dresses, shoes and accessories for the prom or JROTC Ball.     One sweet girl told a volunteer that she did not know how she was going to get a dress. THIS is why we do what we do! Thank you to all of our volunteers and donors for making this a success!

 Even during the pandemic, these awesome brothers continued to raise donations virtually!

     THANK YOU, Alex and Colin, for helping our local foster children!! Thank you to their parents Jessica and Ben LeBlanc for raising such amazing kids!
