Operation Prom: Fairy Godmother to High School Seniors
As the 2015 prom season approaches, high school seniors are dreaming about the perfect prom dress…and wondering how they can afford it. Not to worry, ladies, Operation PROM comes to the rescue. This modern-day Fairy Godmother is here to help dreams come true. Operation PROM is encouraging teenage girls looking for an inexpensive way to get a high-fashion dress for their senior prom to register today for the 11th Annual Operation PROM dress giveaway.
Operation PROM has helped alleviate some of the cost of attending prom by collecting and distributing gently used as well as new dresses donated by companies and designers cleaning out their inventory. Most of their inventory consists of brand new dresses with the tags still on them!
With families all over the country struggling to make ends meet, Operation PROM continues to grow each year. The organization currently has chapters in nine states including, its home base, New York in addition to New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Michigan, and California.
"We are thrilled about the expansion of Operation PROM," said Noel D'Allacco, president and founder of Operation PROM. "Prom is a rite of passage, and every teen should be able to attend regardless of their financial status."
D'Allacco and her team of chapter directors are extremely dedicated to the expansion of Operation PROM. All of the donated resources and funds are redirected back into organization – no one takes a salary.
There are two locations for Brewster High School Students.
