Children’s Fund, in
partnership with San Bernardino County Children and Family Services’
Independent Living Program, is requesting donations of new or gently used prom
dresses, especially Large and X-Large sizes, for the foster youth who are
planning to attend their prom.
“Together we host a Prom
Extravaganza for foster youth in their senior year of high school,” states
Kristin Williams, programs manager of Children’s Fund. “Prom is an experience
that every senior should be able to attend.
At the Extravaganza community volunteers assist the youth with tips for
hair, nails, make-up, how to tie a tie and are taught the proper etiquette for
formal events.” The event concludes with
each foster youth receiving a prom dress or tuxedo rental certificate.
"As a father of 3 adult children, I know how expensive it
is to attend prom", says Randy Schulz, director of Children and Family
Services. "We can make sure our foster youth have the opportunity to
attend their prom with the help and support of our local community. Please help
make a foster youth's dreams come true by donating today.”
Don’t have a dress?
Consider donating shoes, purses, hair products, belts, ties, jewelry,
new/unused make up and other prom essentials.
Start your spring cleaning
early, and give a foster youth a memorable prom experience. Donations are being accepted at Children’s
Fund, 348 W. Hospitality Lane, Suite 110, San Bernardino, CA 92408 through
Monday, February 24, 2014. Or, you can
make a monetary donation, and Children’s Fund will do the shopping for you.
Donations can be made at the office, or online at www.childrensfundonline.org.
