Nonprofit Offers Free Prom Gowns

There has already been a flood of girls looking for beautiful dresses, but then there was a real flood. When Julianne Sullivan arrived at Julianne’s Prom Closet early Monday morning, she found water seeping through the ceiling of her basement location and running down the wall. An icemaker somewhere upstairs in the building had malfunctioned and now Sullivan was frantically hauling racks full of beautiful ball gowns out of the room. “These things happen,” Sullivan said later in the day. “I saved most of the dresses. Only 25 have to go to the dry cleaner because they got wet.” Sullivan runs Julianne’s Prom Closet, a nonprofit organization that donates prom and graduation dresses to low-income girls who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford a prom dress/Pia Hallenberg, SR.

Question: Not only do I remember the baby-blue tux & bow tie that I wore to my Senior Prom. I'll show you. That's DFO @ age 17 above. Do you remember what you wore to your prom?
