Dress donations give Utah special needs prom attendees that fairy-tale feeling

That's because Gittins picked up the dress she's borrowing for this year's Tim Tebow Foundation A Night to Shine special needs prom at the Genesis Project Church.

The dress, donated for the event by the nonprofit Celebrate Everyday, is deep blue and teal with a hint of pink highlights, reminding Gittins of the formal attire Cinderella wears in the newest Disney movie about the fairy tale.

"I will feel so beautiful," Gittens, 32, of Ogden, said. She admitted that before the A Night to Shine event came along three years ago, she had never attended a prom.
