3rd Annual Friends of Scott Prom
Friday, April 24th at 6:30 p.m., Hall of Champions, Balboa Park
For one unforgettable night, the children are treated like movie stars - it's an evening to simply forget their battle with cancer. Last year, more than 175 teens with cancer enjoyed a special evening of dancing, refreshments and red carpet treatment. Almost everything for this magical night is donated. Here's how you can be part of the special evening-please help spread the word that we need gently used prom dresses! Those formal dresses that girls wore once and now hang in the back of closets will give such pleasure to young girls with cancer. We also need accessories like purses and wraps to help the girls keep warm. A $20.00 gift card from Payless Shoes allows one girl to buy a pair of party shoes to match her outfit.
Here are some dress donation guidelines: Dresses should be:
from 2002 to present, clean and on hangers, prom dresses, formal gowns, or fancy party dresses, received by April 1, 2009
For more information, please contact Deanne Seiler at deanne@friendsofscott.org or call 619-741-3871. The Friends of Scott Prom has many unique sponsorship opportunities. For more information, please contact Anna Sciarrino at sciarrino@cox.net |
