Complete Charity Recap: 2024 Giving Back Highlights
At The Bridal Collection, giving back is at the heart of what we do. While we’re known for helping brides find their dream gowns, we believe our mission goes far beyond beautiful dresses. With a diverse staff full of various interests and passions, we are committed to making a positive impact in the communities we serve, one charity at a time. Every act of giving is a reflection of values we hold dear: compassion, connection, and the desire to uplift those in need.
This year, we were honored to partner with incredible organizations dedicated to making a difference locally, nationally, and globally. As we reflect on 2024, we’re excited to share a recap of the charitable endeavors we’ve contributed to, celebrating the impact these partnerships have made.

In January, we supported the Denver Greek School, an organization dedicated to preserving Greek culture and language for future generations. By contributing to their mission, we helped provide resources for language classes, cultural events, and community programs. Additionally, we partnered with designer Justin Alexander and an incredible charity: VOW for Girls, a global movement that partners with brands and vendors across the wedding industry to end the child marriage crisis.
February: Celebrating Inclusion and Sustainability
February was a month of celebration and sustainability as we partnered with the Tim Tebow Foundation’s A Night to Shine, an unforgettable charity prom night experience for people with special needs.

In March, we assisted the Children’s Hospital Colorado, an institution that provides life-saving care and innovative treatments for children. Our contributions helped ensure young patients and their families receive the support they need during difficult times. We also worked with the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley to advocate for the well-being of animals and to help find loving homes for pets in need. Their dedication to animal welfare resonates deeply with our team.

Both organizations align with our mission to create a more compassionate and equitable world.

Looking Ahead to 2025 & Beyond
We are proud of what we accomplished this year, but our commitment to lending a helping hand is ongoing. At The Bridal Collection, we believe that true beauty lies in how we treat others and the world around us. Giving back is not just an action—it’s a core part of who we are.
As we enter 2025, we remain dedicated to supporting organizations that align with our values and mission. Together, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of others. We’re more than just pretty dresses—we’re a team passionate about spreading kindness and creating lasting, meaningful change.
