A very worthy event as prom dresses and accessories can be very expensive.  Good for them!

Hi Gene

What a wonderful opportunity for those interested in sharing a former prom dress with someone who can use it! I'm impressed that you are also participating!! Hope it is a huge success...and the timing is good given when proms seem to occur! What a nice memorial!

The woman that conceived and directs this event is my cousin, Jeff Dowler ... we grew up together in Manhattan.  She and her husband stood up in our wedding.  She's doing a fantastic job and has grown this event to its present size.  I'm glad to assist her any way I can ... and help with the cause ...

Donating a prom dress to Melissa's Closet is an outstanding way to recycle a prom dress.

Good luck and success.
