Polk County, FL – 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!
A special Project Prom Store Ribbon Cutting will be held this Saturday, February 23, 2019, at 9:30 am, at Lakeland Square Mall, 3800 U.S. 98 North, in Lakeland (in
the old Sears wing). The first of four 2019 Student
Shopping Days for Project Prom
will begin immediately after when the doors open at 10:00 am. Additional
shopping days are scheduled for Saturday,
March 9, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.,
and Saturdays March 23 and April 6, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 pm., at
the Project Prom store.
Community members
are also asked to support this effort by donating gently used dresses, shoes,
men’s suits, ties, and other accessories. Formal wear donations may be
dropped off on the shopping dates at the Project Prom Store or at the InnerAct
Alliance office on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
UthMpact’s goal is promote a fun and safe Prom Night. For more information, please contact
