Prom Dress Drive

From Best Cleaners:


COMMUNITY DRESS DRIVE NOW THROUGH MARCH 15

Best Cleaners is once again supporting the Princess & the Prom, a Connecticut organization that provides free prom dresses to area high school girls who might not otherwise be able to afford one, by sponsoring the 2011 Community Dress Drive. Please consider donating new or newly worn formal dresses at any Best location now through March 15. Plus size dresses are especially needed. We will dryclean and deliver all donated items to the Princess & the Prom Gown Giveaway Event happening on March 25, 26, and 27 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Windsor.

    This is a great idea and I applaud the effort on the part of Best Cleaners, but I would like to see an organization that does this for our own community. Many of the kids around here who would best benefit are not easily able to get to Windsor. Do we have one for Middletown?

    Here is what Princess And the Prom says in response to whether they could offer this program in other towns: "Our annual Gown Giveaway event is open to high school girls from the entire state of CT. At the 2010 Gown Giveaway event, over 500 girls attended from 80 different CT high schools, including Middletown HS and Mercy HS.

    Unfortunately, it is not feasible to host the event in many different cities – it far too time consuming and costly to put on. However, many of the local high schools host field trips to transport the girls to Windsor. We welcome any initiatives to help with transportation.

    Thank you,

    me again: Of course, motivated individuals could certainly start up an independent prom dress exchange / giveaway here on their own. But I think that it is worth it to go with whats already being done by helping to solve the transportation issue with a simple carpool.
