With prom season just around the corner, the Evansville Area Council PTA clothing bank, Hangers, is out to help EVSC students who plan to attend prom this spring by hosting a free Prom Dress Giveaway. The dress giveaway is scheduled for Friday, April 3, from 3 to 6 p.m. and again on Saturday, April 4, from 9 a.m. to noon. At the giveaway, eligible EVSC students will be able to select from more than 200 free dresses.
In addition to possibly receiving a free prom dress, attendees will also have the opportunity to win a free tuxedo rental, hair, makeup and flowers through a drawing that will take place Friday, April 3.
Students who would like to participate for the Prom Dress giveaway will need to get a referral from their school counselor or social worker.
To ensure as many students as possible can find a dress that works for them, Hangers is still accepting prom dress donations. Individuals interested in donating can drop off a dress or any other gently used clothing at Hangers, Tuesday through Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Hangers is located in the AIS-Diamond building at 2319 Stringtown Road.
