What is Jordyn's Closet?
Jordyn's Closet is an organization that donates formal dresses to high school girls who cannot afford to purchase them. Jordyn's Closet also awards scholarships to deserving high school seniors who have demonstrated exemplary service to their communities.
The organization was created to honor the work(S) of Jordyn Leigh Agostini who passed away in a tragic accident in 2010. This organization recognizes young women who dedicate their lives to working hard for what they want! Also Jordyn was a sucker for a good gown, the tootsie roll, endless hours of trying on gowns just for fun, and dancing the night away- dress shopping wasn't just a hobby :)
