Operation Ballgown

Welcome to Operation Ballgown - a special initiative by the Cherry Point Spouse Club dedicated to supporting military spouses. This event is designed to help individuals look and feel their best for formal occasions like the Marine Corps and Navy balls. As a philanthropic effort, it offers a curated selection of beautiful, gently used gowns, shoes and accessories, all free of charge. The aim is to provide the perfect dress for their special event while making the experience enjoyable and stress-fee, all while giving back to our military community.
