Wayne Teen Running Prom Dress Collection

Girl is asking locals to donate gently used prom gowns.

The following was submitted to Wayne Patch as a letter to the editor. Submit yours to jessica.mazzola@patch.com.

Girls,

Prom season is approaching and I am taking over for my sister in an effort to keep a good thing going. Once again we will be collecting gently used dresses for underprivileged girls.

The collections over the past five years have been extremely successful. With your generosity we were able to help 100s of young girls look fabulous, feel good and really enjoy a special night out.

Your gently worn dresses make a great gift to a young girl and make her event even more memorable. If you have dresses in your closets that you are no longer wearing they would get put to great use by a girl who may otherwise miss out on a special night. 

We all know how much fun these dances and parties can be. Let’s try to help others enjoy the fun we were so fortunate to have experienced.

Boys,

You can help too!

Ask your girlfriends, moms, sisters, cousins.  Every dress helps!

If you have any questions or need more information, please let me know. Contact me and I will make arrangements to pick the dresses up at your convenience. I can be reached by text at (973) 618-6639, or call (973) 809-1861.

Thank you again for your previous consideration and generosity. Please help me make this year even more successful!
