Since 2003, Project Prom has given eligible high school students the opportunity to choose free formal attire from a selection of thousands of donated items. The gowns and other accessories are received through the generosity of retail establishments and the general public.
The Project Prom Shop is located at Century III Mall on the third floor just inside Mall Entrance C.
How to receive formal attire
The 2010 Gown Giveaway will take place on March 23, 24 and 25 at the Project Prom Shop at Century III Mall from 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
With the assistance of a trusted adult, young men in need of a tuxedo should contact the Project Prom coordinator at 412-350-3428.
