Sixty girls from Highline Public Schools will be going to prom in lovely dresses - many with accessories - thanks to a new program sponsored by Highline Schools Foundation called Project PROMise. The Foundation solicited donations of evening dresses and accessories and was overwhelmed with the response. Girls were invited to "shop" and many left with all they needed for a prom they might not otherwise have been able to attend.
Foundation volunteer Lisa Tuman commented, "The girls were so appreciative! The community was so supportive that we have nearly 200 dresses in storage waiting for next year's shop day."
