Donate a Prom Dress to Help Deserving Teens Dance the Night Away

Disponible en: Español

The window to donate closes on February 25. Donations will be sorted and ready for the Prom Dress Giveaway on March 12.

Prom is one of those rites of passage in your senior year of high school. Everyone is dressed to the nines, wearing beautiful dresses, sleek pantsuits, and tuxedos. Couples and groups of friends are taking pictures and dancing the night away. They are full of excitement and hope. It marks the beginning of knowing that things will change as high school draws ever closer to an end.

Prom is one of the most expensive endeavors for teenagers and their families. For many, the costs prevent them from being able to experience their prom. They don’t want to feel left out because they couldn’t afford a pretty dress. 

That is where prom drives help teens walk with pride, knowing they look beautiful in their dresses.

Please Donate a Dress to Help a Teen Fell Beautiful for Prom

Aldine ISD partner Ladies of Elegance (YLOE) launched its Say Yes to the Prom Dress project to support our high school students with prom dresses. YLOE is taking donations from the public for its prom closet. Organizers kindly ask the community for donations of new and gently worn prom dresses, shoes, jewelry, purses, and all accessories needed for the occasion. Aldine ISD and YLOE will host a Prom Dress Give-Away in March. YLOE is a nonprofit leadership and mentor organization for girls ages 8-18. Aldine ISD Board Trustee Dr. Kimberly N.
