2015 PROJECT PROM
Our UthMpact student leaders started an effort called Project Prom
in 2013 to provide formal wear and accessories to deserving high school
students who might not otherwise be able to afford the expenses of Prom Night. UthMpact's
goal is to promote a fun and safe prom night and all students
will be asked to sign a Prom Pledge to choose wisely and commit to refrain from
alcohol, drugs, and risky behaviors.
In the first year of this worthwhile program, over 100 prom
dresses were given away to young ladies. In 2014, UthMpact continued the
momentum and expanded Project Prom to include donation of gently used men’s
suits and formal wear for teenage boys.
Now coming into the 2015 prom season, UthMpact is excited to
announce its new Gala & Fashion Show, a night for Polk County Teens to come together to donate prom
attire and enjoy a night of fashion shows and great music.
We are asking for assistance from our local community to make this
project a success. Please donate gently used prom dresses, shoes, men’s suits, ties, and formal wear to Project Prom. Donations may be dropped off at the InnerAct
Alliance office, located at 621 South Florida Avenue, in Lakeland. Please
call (863) 802-077 for more information.
