This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
On behalf of JFKHS, I am requesting financial support to launch our first ever Tuxedo Prom Closet. Each year we work with an organization to provide free prom dresses for our students. However, the organization does not provide free tuxedos or formal suits. In the past years our students who wear tuxedos feel left out and we want to make prom accessible to those who can't afford to rent or purchase a tuxedo for prom.
We want to have 25 tuxedos to start our Prom Closet.
Students will "rent out" for free the tuxedos so we can reuse them for the upcoming proms or events where students will need them. We plan to make our Prom Closet a long term project.
Your donation will have a great impact on many students, this year and the years to come, since many of our students come from low income households. We believe every senior deserves to participate in prom if they wish to without worrying about it becoming a financial burden. For this reason we request your finacial support for tuxedos. We are very grateful for your contribution in making our Prom Closet become a reality!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
