Donate Formal Wear So High School Seniors Can Have a Memorable Prom

Do you remember how much fun you had at your senior prom? Now’s your chance to help current high school seniors make their own memories at their proms by donating dresses, tuxedos, shoes, make-up, and accessories for the third annual Belle & Beau of the Ball from the Brooklyn College Community Partnership:

Many students find it impossible to attend their high school prom because of the excessive expense. Your contribution will allow many young men and women to participate in a special evening meant to reward them for their academic achievements and success. We encourage everyone who has a dry cleaned prom or evening dress, a formal suit or tuxedo; gently worn shoes or accessories and unopened make-up to consider contributing them to this memorable occasion.

Drop off items through May 14 at the Brooklyn College Art Lab, Brooklyn College Roosevelt Hall, Room 301R (press 3R within the elevator), Monday through Friday from 10am-6pm and Saturday, 12-4pm. Students will then get to enjoy a fun prom dress giveaway on May 15, and a tuxedo fitting on May 21.
