That's 50 more than she had.

We counted, and the results are in: we collected over 70 dresses in one month for our first ever Dressgiving Drive! Thanks to everyone who participated in the collection—from GSU’s Nonprofit Leadership Alliance and Georgia Tech’s Collegiate Panhellenic Council to the offices of Sanctuary Real Estate, Turner Networks, Resurgens Orthopaedics, and three—and kudos to every woman who emptied her closet for The Prom Project. Dress Day is right around the corner, and we’re looking forward to another prom season.

In other news, we’re getting ready for our busiest time of the year. We’ll be volunteering with Project Open Hand, voting for a scholarship winner for last fall’s Be Awesome, Be Aware program, and gearing up for our biggest fundraising event of the year: our 3rd Annual Adult Prom Fundraiser. Can’t say much more right now, but here’s a hint: start practicing your cancan.

Ladies! Want an easy way to donate this season? Donate your unwanted dresses to teens in need! Throughout the month of November, we are collecting dresses for our first Dressgiving Drive. Here’s how you can help:

1. Collect your dresses — prom, homecoming, bridesmaid, or any evening/formalwear

2. Drop them off at either location:

Sanctuary Real Estate
300 N. Highland Ave, Suite B
Atlanta, GA 30307

The Greek Affairs Office
Student Services Building (Flag Building)
Georgia Tech

That’s it! We’ll dry clean and donate the dresses to underprivileged teen girls from Cross Keys, Maynard Jackson, and Grady high schools next prom season.

Here are some basic guidelines to keep in mind:

  • Good condition (new or gently used)
  • Any size, color, or style
  • Age-appropriate (16-18 year olds)
  • No casual dresses (jersey dresses, sun dresses, frocks, etc.)
