About us here at LA's Prom Closet

Dear Friends,

I am proud to say LA's Prom Closet is heading into it's annual year of providing high school students the opportunity to attend their prom. For those of you who are unfamiliar, a few friends and I have worked very hard to start this non-profit organization, which donates old and new formal dresses to underprivileged high school seniors in "high school Los Angeles Countries"...

In April, 2008 we held a fantastic event in Hawthorne providing not only dresses, but also workshops on etiquette, self-esteem and makeup application for a wide variety of young female teens. We hope to continue this success come March 14th at the annual LA's Prom Closet's, "Dress to Remember".

As with all non-profits, the success of such an event heavily relies on the amazing donations given by people like you. Below is a list of categories in which we seek assistance. If you have any other ideas, please feel free to share.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

• Dresses: Formal and Semi-Formal. All sizes (Plus size dresses needed). Dry-cleaned or washed
• Dress accessories: Hangers, z-racks, clear plastic dry-cleaning bags, clothing tags, dressing rooms
• Tailoring: Seamstresses, sewing machines, irons, tailoring supplies
• Make-up: Make-up artists, make-up and supplies
• Jewelry: Earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings
• Decorations: Formal event linen, tables, chairs, balloons, flowers
• Workshop assistance: Etiquette instructors, motivational speakers, etc.
• Gift bags: Paper or plastic gift bags, tissue for bags
• Clerical needs: Pens, Paper, Scissors
• Delivery assistance: Delivery Truck
• Food and beverages for the volunteers the day of the event: breakfast, snacks, lunch

If you are interested in donating a dress or service, please email lapromcloset@yahoo.com. The deadline to submit a gown and supplies is March 6th

Kind regards,
