Becca, a 16 year old cheerleader, honor student, and caring young woman, passed away in a tragic automobile accident on August 20, 2003. Today, her family and friends not only remember Becca for her great love and friendship, but also for her contributions to the community.
In the Spring of her Freshman year at Nova High School in Davie, Florida, Rebecca launched a dress drive to provide prom dresses and accessories to high school girls who could not afford to purchase them. Rebecca was a passionate, bright, fun-loving young woman who loved being with her friends and felt that no one should miss a high school event because they couldn’t afford to be there. She saw the inequity in the situation and sought to change things. During the Spring of her sophomore year, Becca singlehandedly collected and donated over 250 formal dresses and helped hundreds of girls across South Florida attend their High School proms in style.
To keep Becca’s dream alive, her loved ones established Becca’s Closet, a nonprofit organization with volunteer-led chapters throughout the U.S. dedicated to continuing her mission. Originally focused on providing free military ball and prom dresses to students in need, Becca’s Closet has since expanded its efforts. Today, the organization not only distributes formalwear but also raises funds for post-secondary scholarships, recognizing young individuals across the country who embody Becca’s spirit of generosity in their own communities. Becca’s story is a testament to the power of kindness, proving that one person’s compassion can inspire change far beyond their years. Through Becca’s Closet, her legacy lives on, touching the lives of countless students and ensuring that no one misses out on meaningful high school experiences due to financial hardship.
