UthMpact Coordinates 2019 Project Prom Shopping Days
It’s almost Prom Time but for some teens the expense of this social event could make
attending prom out of reach. InnerAct Alliance and youth coalition, UthMpact, are
proud to present the 7th year of the Project Prom effort to provide
formal wear and accessories to deserving high school students and educate youth
and parents in our community about the risky behaviors that may occur during
prom and graduation time. Students with a Polk County School ID can sign a Project Prom
Pledge to celebrate being drug-free and receive dresses and suits for
FREE!
2019 Student
Shopping Days for Project Prom are scheduled for
Saturdays February 23 and March 9, from
