UthMpact The Teen Coalition for a Drug Free Polk Coordinates
Project Prom 2013
It’s almost Prom
Time, but unfortunately for some teens, the expense of this special event could
make attending prom out of reach. Teen leaders from UthMpact, the coalition for
a Drug Free Polk, along with support from community partners InnerAct Alliance,
MIDFLORIDA Credit Union, and 97 Country WPCV 97.5 FM, are coordinating an effort
called Project Prom to provide
formal wear and accessories for high school students who might not otherwise be
able to afford them.
We’re
asking the community to help support this special effort by donating gently
used dresses, suits, purses, and jewelry from now through the end of March.
Formal wear donations may be dropped off at Robyn Lynne, located at 3674 Harden
Blvd., in the Oakbridge Plaza off Polk Parkway, in Lakeland. As a special incentive,
donors and participants in Project Prom
will have an opportunity to enter a drawing to win an awesome prom prize
package!
A
special event to distribute the prom formal wear to those in need will take
place on April 6 and 13, from 11 am to 3 pm, at a store location next to Robyn
Lynne. Students must bring their school photo ID for admittance.
To
further promote a fun and safe prom night, students will be asked to sign a
Prom Pledge to choose wisely and commit to stay alcohol and drug free during
prom season.
For
more information on Project Prom,
please call Angie Ellison, Executive Director of InnerAct Alliance, at (863)
802-0777.
