InnerAct Alliance and UthMpact have been busy this spring hosting our 14th year of the Project Prom effort to provide formal wear and accessories to deserving high school students. Our goal is to educate youth and parents about the risky behaviors that may occur during prom and graduation.
The final Student Shopping Day is this Saturday, March 21, from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, at the Project Prom Store at Lakeland Square Mall, 3800 US Highway 98 North in Lakeland (use entrance to the right of Dillard's).
Students with a Polk School ID can sign a pledge to celebrate alcohol- and drug-free and receive their formal wear FREE! Congrats to the Polk students who have already pledged and took home special dresses and suits on our February and earlier March shopping days. Over 6,000 prom ensembles have been provided at no cost to young women and men in Polk County since 2013.
Community members can support the effort by donating gently used dresses, shoes, men's suits, and accessories. Especially needed are women's dresses in sizes XS (0-3) and Plus Sizes (18+) and men's dress pants (waist 30-36) and shirts (all sizes).
Formal wear donations may be dropped off at the Project Prom Store on March 21 during shopping hours and at the IAA office at 621 South Florida Ave., in Lakeland (weekdays 8:30am-4:30pm).
