The sisters of Delta Chi Omega (DCO) and the Center for Civic Leadership are excited to announce that Project Prom Dress will be held April 8 at 魅影直播 State. The event will be held in the Pioneer Center between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Project Prom Dress is a student-driven initiative and is the passion and philanthropy of the sorority sisters of DCO. Annually, individuals and local bridal shops donate new and gently used gowns. The sorority sisters have collected hundreds of gowns, shoes, and accessories.

鈥淲hen I was looking for a prom dress myself, I didn鈥檛 realize how expensive they can be. If I had known about this event I would have come here to see if there was a dress I fell in love with before I bought one. Girls can come pick up dresses anytime by appointment. They can look through dresses and get whatever they need.鈥

Director of Global Engagement and Civic Wellbeing Cyan Corwine is excited to continue this event for the community. 鈥淭his is such a magnificent event. We are excited to assist community members with their prom preparations. We know this event helps so many and means a lot to local families.鈥

DCO sister Jenna Plouse added. 鈥淢y favorite part of Project Prom Dress is seeing a girl鈥檚 face light up when she finally finds the dress for her that she can get through our resources for free and be able to feel beautiful.

Project Prom Dress returned last spring after COVID forced the event to be postponed for the previous two years. For more information, contact Cyan Corwine by email or 607-587-4059.
