What is Dreams Delivered?
The Woman’s Club of Evanston believes every student, regardless of means, should be able to attend senior prom. In that spirit, we created Dreams Delivered.
Every April with our partner, The Ivy Pearl Foundation, Inc.®, the philanthropic arm of the Delta Chi Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., our historic clubhouse is transformed into a very special prom boutique. Students are invited to register for personal shopping appointments at the Clubhouse for new and nearly new formal dresses, shoes, jewelry, and accessories which are provided free of charge. Over the past 18 years, Dreams Delivered has outfitted more than 1,000 students. Next year will be our 19th year.
Thank you to the 2026 Local Businesses who had collection sites for donating dresses.
