Tiaras and Ties

Spring 2010 will mark the fourth year the Junior League of Toronto will help  remove social barriers and promote inclusiveness among high school graduates by providing graduating high school students in York Region, who are in financial need, with formal attire so that they can attend their graduation proms with pride.  The JLT has partnered with the Maple’s Closet program at Maple High School to assist with the execution of their “Diva Ball”. Without such assistance, these students could not afford to participate in the celebration of the milestone of high school graduation. 

"I would like all of the Junior League ladies to know that you are very appreciated, and your hard work is very recognized. I do hope that the Junior League ladies continue to run this event for many years to follow. I want to see more students like me, who express financial need, to get the benefit that I got today."

"Our students were thrilled with their outfits and commented on how well they were treated at the Boutique Day. Tiaras and Ties makes a very worthwhile contribution to the students ‘special evening’. Our thanks go out to all of the volunteers and corporate sponsors."
