I have begun working with a few friends for a non-profit organization titled LA's Prom Closet, that donates old and new formal dresses to underprivileged high school seniors in the Los Angeles County school district. We are currently seeking people who would like to donate any formal dresses they may have so that we may assist a high school senior with the opportunity to attend their prom.
Due to economic frustrations, many young ladies miss out on high school memories and typically are unable to attend prom, forgoing a memory of a lifetime. LA's Prom Closet's mission is to provide economically challenged families the opportunity to give their daughters the chance to experience a dream of attending their high school Prom. We work to promote self-esteem and give these ladies the much-needed recognition for staying in school and pushing forward. We want them to know they should never let themselves be bound by temporary personal or financial handicaps. We at LA's Prom Closet, provide a stepping-stone for girls to realize their potential and the insurmountable opportunities that await them.
We accept all types of formal dresses. If you've ever been a bridesmaid, a sorority girl or even attended high school formals, we ask that you donate your dresses. Before submitting your dress we ask that it be dry-cleaned or washed so that we may provide the student with the best quality possible.
If you are interested in donating a dress, please email laspromcloset@yahoo.com . The deadline to submit a gown is April 10th.
Thank you for any help you can provide. Please pass on the word to your family, friends and colleagues!
LA's Prom Closet is a non-profit 501c3 organization made up of volunteers who rely on donated dresses, volunteer services and monetary donations to achieve its goals.
