Press release:

For many high school girls, going to the prom is an event anticipated for years, but not going to the prom because the family can't afford a formal dress can be devastating.

This year, thanks to the Highline Schools Foundation for Excellence, a number of high school students will be going to the prom in beautiful dresses donated by local organizations and members of the community. They will also have opportunity to select shoes, bags and other accessories contributed by the local community.

In its 4th Annual Project PROMise™, the Highline Schools Foundation collects beautiful new and gently worn formal dresses and gowns, shoes and accessories from throughout our community and invites high school students in need to "go shopping" for the perfect dress for their prom. The dresses are offered to the girls to keep, or they may return them to the Foundation to be used the following year.

Please bring your clean, new or gently used prom dresses, prom jewelry and prom shoes to the following schools by March 1.
Aviation High School
Evergreen High School
Mount Rainier High School
Highline High School
Highline Schools Foundation office (located inside ERAC)
Puget Sound Skills Center
Tyee High School
We accept all sizes but have a special need for small and large and plus sizes. We also need accessories including shoes, handbags, and jewelry!

Don't have a dress but would like to help?
