Rita's Story: Through tragedy comes renewal
Rita Medeiros was lost to the world on April 2, 2012, at the young age of 16. A junior at Westminster High School, Rita had just purchased her prom dress from DeMario Bridal and Formal, when she was involved in a vehicle crash with her dress still in the back of the car.
Tamara Medeiros, Rita’s Mother, was so proud of the many lives Rita touched with her compassion and open heart. Rita missed her Cinderella Moment, so to honor Rita and her love of life, Tamara started Rita’s Closet.
Rit’s Closet is a non profit organization that gives new life to prom dresses, as well as wedding dresses and formal wear, to pay forward that Cinderella Moment for others.
Rita’s Closet distributes vouchers to local high schools for free dresses to those that can’t afford them and sells the gently used gowns at a discounted price to fund the scholarships to female students in Carroll County.
