The goal of the Brooklyn Prom and Scholarship Project is to help financially challenged teen in Brooklyn attend their 2013 Prom through donations of gently used formal occasion attire.
Previous giveaway events have been a huge success! Your support is need to help create life-long prom memories for deserving teens.
If you have an old dress or know of someone who has already attended their prom and is willing to donate their dress, jewelry, accessories, shoes, unopened cosmetics or tuxedo, this is a huge way to give back, recycle and conserve during Earth Week!
