InnerAct Alliance and our youth coalition, UthMpact, are proud to present the 11th year of the Project Prom effort to provide free formal wear to deserving high school students and educate about risky behaviors that may occur during prom and graduation time.
UthMpact Teen Leaders will host a Project Prom Store Grand Opening with a ribbon cutting on Saturday morning, March 4 at the Lakeland Square Mall, 3800 U.S. Highway 98 N in Lakeland (use entrance
to right of Dillards). The store will open for the first Student Shopping Day at 11:00
a.m. Additional shopping days are scheduled for Saturdays: March 18, April 1, and April 15 from 11:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Students with a Polk School ID may sign a pledge promising
to celebrate alcohol and substance-free and receive complimentary dresses,
suits, and accessories!
Since 2013, over 5,250 prom ensembles have been provided at no cost to
young women and men in Polk County. The community may support
the effort by donating gently used dresses, shoes, men’s suits, and accessories.
Especially needed are women’s plus size dresses (18+) and men’s small suits, dress
pants (waist 30-36) and shirts (all sizes). Formal wear donations may be
dropped off at the Project Prom Store on shopping dates or at the InnerAct
Alliance office (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. weekdays).
