Think back to your high school prom…the planning, the shopping and the pure pleasure of expectation and suspense. But for some girls it’s more of a worry than joy looking forward to prom. Where will they get the money for the gown, shoes, and accessories for the highly anticipated evening?

Over the past month, members of PWC have generously donated clothes, evening bags, jewelry, slips, foundational undergarments, hosiery and shoes to the PWC project, “Prom Accessory collection for PACE Center for Girls!”

One afternoon was set aside to organize and sort the clothes and the second was where the fun took place…delivering the goods to the girls.

Under the guidance of Community Involvement co-chairs, Elizabeth Paulson and Snowden McFall, several racks of gowns, dozens of shoes and a wide variety of accessories were given to the PACE Center girls in anticipation of their prom.  

Girls “shopped” for just the right outfit for their big night. They tried on gowns, shoes and picked out just the right bags and jewelry to get the total look.

The appreciation was evident in the girls’ smiles.

Thank you PWC for your generosity!
