Our mission is to ensure all students can attend their graduation celebrations in style. We rely on school staff to help spread the word so no student misses out. Thanks to generous donations, our service is now available to everyone.
Join us in making every grad night unforgettable. Together, we can ensure every student celebrates their achievements in style and confidence.
Volunteers are the backbone of Magic Wand, doing all the little behind the scene jobs that make the program run efficiently . The small fee paid by students helps cover dry cleaning costs. We offer a family-friendly experience, inviting parents to help during fittings, creating special moments and lasting memories.
By recycling and borrowing instead of buying new, students can look their best. Donors love knowing their outfits will be cherished by other students year after year.
