Dozens of Brooklyn high school students will be attending prom in style, thanks to a unique program which takes the pressure off finding that perfect dress.  NY1's Gene Apodaca has more on the Cinderella project.

If this looks like a scene out of the movie Cinderella, well, that was the whole idea.

"I'm really indecisive she's helping me but hopefully something silver," said Sara Zamora, who received a dress through this special program.

Today, dozens of volunteers at PS 265 in Brooklyn helped these deserving teens dress to impress for their upcoming prom.

"I was really wondering if I would find the perfect dress for me," said Cas'andra Kestoe. "I think I have it right here."

The Cinderella Project is a partnership between the National Association of Black Law Enforcement Executives, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and Goodwill that provides free dresses for local high school students who might not be able afford them.

Besides gowns, the students were treated to free accessories, purses, shoes and even make up for that special day.

"It feels good and I think she feels even better," said Damaris Hernandez.

"It's making a huge difference in these girls lives, there are people who just got laid off or grandmothers that don't have the money for prom dresses and they want to bring their girls looking good for prom," said Katy Gaul-Stigge with Goodwill.

In all over 300 prom dresses were donated to the cause, nearly half were collected by correction officers at Rikers Island.

"We sent out emails and information to every jail and a lot of the women just started donating, even some of the male officers started donating their daughter's prom dresses," said Chikera Beckford with the Department of Correction.

While everyone agrees that the Cinderella project was a team effort it would not have happened without the vision of one woman who takes this mission very personally.

"It's so important because I was once that teenage girl," said event organizer Kendra Coston.

Coston grew up in this part of Brooklyn, having lost her grandmother at a young age, she had to work while going to school.

"I wish someone had told me, you know what, I have you, just graduate," she said.

"Our theme this year is come back and give back to the community and this is one of things she is doing she is living out our theme this year," said Timothy Pearson, president of the law enforcement organization.

And creating a project to help young women put their best foot forward at prom.
