Their Mission: Make sure that all those teens hoping to attend their prom are not held back from doing so because of the monetary constraints of buying the appropriate prom wear.

* Whitmore Ace Hardware - 210 So. State St., Manhattan, IL * Whitmore Ace Hardware - 361 So. Locust St., Manteno, IL
* Whitmore Ace Hardware - Winchester Green Center, Wilmington, IL

Dresses and formal attire will also be collected at:
* Fossil Ridge Library - 386 W. Kennedy Rd., Braidwood, IL
* Quality Auto Body - 97 North 1st Ave., Coal City, IL
Anyone donating a dress to this charitable cause will be awarded a Whitmore Ace Hardware Gift Card of $5.00 per dress donated. If you donate a dress, you receive a coupon for a FREE dress.
Prom dresses will be available in a variety of styles and sizes will all be priced at $5.00 each. Long or short gowns of any fabric are accepted. Purses are also accepted for donation, as well as accessories of jewelry (earrings, bracelets, necklaces) and shoes.
Donated items from 2007 to the current year's fashion are welcome.
