Our Mission
Be Like Emma Dress Resale is a charity dedicated to reselling formal dresses for school dances. We strive to raise funds for the Emma Shafer fund for peace and justice.

Founded by a teenager with a passion for fashion and change, our organization has made significant strides. In our first year alone we raised $1,500 and collected more than 150 dresses.
