Thanks to the generosity of a parishioner, Sacred Heart Church will hold an unusual fundraiser on Saturday. More than 150 wedding gowns will be on sale in the Sacred Heart gym. The gowns, along with an assortment of bridesmaids dresses and dresses for flower girls and even some tuxedos will be sold beginning at 7 a.m.
Shanon Eaton, one of the coordinators for the event, said the dresses were donated by a member of the parish who wishes to remain anonymous.
“This is just a wonderful gift to the parish,” Eaton said. She said shoppers will find some fantastic bargains. “There are some dresses that would cost from $700 to $800 if they were purchased in a store,” Eaton said. Many of those dresses will be sold on Saturday for half that amount, she said.
More than two dozen of the dresses are new, while the others have been rented, but all are in tip top condition, Eaton said. Wedding gowns will start at about $50 and go up to around $400.
Eaton said sizes vary and are available up to size 22.
The sale is cash only and fitting rooms will be available. Eaton said limited concessions are also being planned. The sale will run until 4 p.m. Dresses and accessories not sold on Saturday will be sold for half price the following day.
