Applicants that don’t register can show up at the Prom Dress Give-Away, but it is on a 1st come, 1st serve basis.
“Our goal is to serve as many young ladies age 12- 22, as possible and give them a delightful shopping experience, and a large selection of beautiful gowns and special occasion dress to make their Prom and graduation a Magical Dream,” states Kandee Lewis, Executive Director of The Positive Results Corporation.
For many, the cost of a prom has become prohibitive. The dress, shoes, accessories, and ticket can end up cost well over $500.
“If we can provide the family a little relief, their choice of a fabulous gown, and a great experience, we have done our job. The reward of seeing a smile on their face is all we want.”
Community partners and friends reached out with hundreds of both new and gently used dresses and accessories, many of which are one of a kind and designer gowns, including a Herve Leger gown.
The Positive Results Corporation will also offer one young lady a scholarship from “Achieving My Dreams Foundation” This scholarship is provided by Dr. Cozette White for a high school senior who will attend an accredited four-year college or university of their choice. The Foundation’s goal is to assist up to five (5) graduating seniors each year.
Mayor Brown has also partnered with All Thing Virtuous to gift 5 young ladies with Hair and Make-Up Gift Certificates for their prom.
