Project Formal

   December 19, 2022

Taxie Lambert turned the unimaginable sorrow of losing her daughter to making a difference in other girls’ lives. Eleven-year-old Desirea Sierra never made it past her fifth-grade formal because she lost her life to domestic violence at the hands of her father in April 2000.

Taxie has launched Project Formal through her 4EVR Dez Foundation so that every girl will have the opportunity to go to her prom. Lambert and her family have solicited businesses and the community for new and like-new after-five and formal dresses. High school counselors have recommended girls to the charity, and Project Formal has already collected over 400 dresses.

She asks for help finding girls who would like Project Formal help them get dressed for their next dance. Find out more here.
