Operation Prom Dress & Tuxedo is an annual event to send juniors
and seniors in the Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, Hyde Park, JP, and
Roslindale areas to the prom. The goal is to ensure students are not
denied the opportunity to attend the prom because of financial
hardships.
Members of the group United Sisters of Color, are asking the community
to donate new or gently used, dry cleaned prom dresses, tuxedos/suits,
shoes and accessories that will be given to the students. All sizes are
needed.
On
April 27, 2013, United Sisters of Color will host Boutique Day. On this
day, the donated items will be set-up as a private boutique experience
for the students to shop at no cost to them.
Monetary donations are also being accepted to cover dry cleaning costs
and tuxedo rental costs. To donate online, visit http://operationpromdressandtuxedo.eventbrite.com/#.
