Getting dressed up to attend a high school prom or dance can be a big deal. Sometimes, the cost of formal wear can be overwhelming. The York High School PTSA (Parent/Teacher/Student Association) invites young ladies to attend the “Say Yes to the Prom Dress” event at the sixth annual prom dress and accessory giveaway on Sunday, March 19, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the York High School Commons, 355 W. St. Charles Road.
Girls ages 13 to 18 can select from more than 400 gently-used dresses in a variety of styles and sizes. Dress shoes, purses, jewelry and unopened makeup items are also available. Dresses are FREE, but limited to one (1) dress per customer. The event is open to the public and all Chicago and Western Suburban High School girls are welcome.
“We have a lot of dresses. We want to make sure girls going to a special occasion this spring know about this free event.” said Marie Gall, York PTSA committee chair. “Anyone who has an eye for updating a classic or making a once-worn dress their own will love this event!”
It’s not too late to clean out your closets and donate new or gently used long and short party dresses from homecomings, proms, graduations, weddings and other bygone events. Dressy shoes, purses, jewelry and unopened makeup also welcome. Donations can be dropped off at the York Attendance Office and/or at 300 S. Fair Avenue. Contact Marie Gall at [email protected] or 773.595.9158 with questions.
