It's called Patti's Prom Project, and last year over 2,000 prom dresses were donated to the first ever southern Ocean County Prom Project. Patti's Prom Project is back in 2010, and donations are now being accepted.
Patti's Prom Project provides everything young high school women need to attend the prom. For a very small fee the students can pick out a gown, shoes, handbag and everything to complete the outfit. Those donations are contributed to the American Cancer Society's 'Relay for Life'.
Right now Patti's Prom Project is gathering dresses, shoes, jewelry and purses for the Boutique scheduled on April 5th in Forked River.
This Boutique is open to all girls in the southern Ocean County, including Pinelands Regional, Southern Regional and Barnegat High Schools.
Not only is apparel being accepted, we still need business contributions from nail salons, hair dressers and flowers.
Check out Patti's Prom Project on Facebook and email the Project organizers at ppromproject@gmail.com for more information.

What an outstanding project....there is nothing that can make a gal feel more like a Princess than a prom and all the glitz that goes with it....and decades later, the memories are still an important part of the dreams of our youth.
Hi Laura:
Yes-Yes, I heard!
Thanks for the reminder.
This is a wonderful program.
Laura, what a wonderful program! So many girls must be feeling pretty good about their proms right about now.
This sounds like a truly wonderful program that's going to make a lot of young people very happy this prom season.
