Prom season is nearly here, and besides our past roundup of low-cost prom grown projects, we have some new ones to announce. Here in the northwest Ohio/Toledo area, Owens Community College students are hosting their 2nd annual Prom Dress Extravaganza, in which high school students can purchase prom dresses for $5-$20 on April 14th at the Student Health and Activities Center from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., as well as accessories ranging from 50 cents to $3. For more information, call Owens College at 567-661-2569.
In Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, there is a Prom Project till March 10 for prom gowns, AND young men can get a tuxedo voucher, plus etiquette lessons. In central Illinois, the Perfect Prom Project will be held March 31st at Latzer Hall in the University of Illinois YWCA. Northeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY is having their Prom Project March 9 and 10, 2012 for girls looking for a gown.
As in the past, Donate My Dress is always a good jumping-off point in finding gently used prom gowns at a low cost, but googling "prom project, " along with the name of your town, is another useful tactic. Of course, you may accidentally find programs on alcohol and drug free post-prom lockups, but that's the price you pay in finding cheap gowns. Good luck.
