My Project

Nearly every student dreams of their prom. It is an American student's right of passage. These materials will help us build the infrastructure to house a Prom Outfit Library.

The Prom Outfit Library will be a donated collection of formal dresses, suits, and attire for students to borrow for formal events.

The hanging bags, tags, hangers, and garment racks will allow us to have a space for the formal attire library for students and staff to use.

Not all of our students are able to afford outfits on top of other costs associated with prom, formals, and banquets. This eco-friendly library would allow students and staff to borrow items and create a tradition of giving in our community.
