From the Houston Chronicle’s chron.Commons Blog:
The Fairy Godmother Project of Houston provides free prom attire to Houston-area teens who may not otherwise attend their prom. Since 2000 we have made prom dreams come true for hundreds of students from Magnolia to Galveston and Dayton to Brookshire.In these tough economic times with so many neighbors still struggling from the effect of this summer’s Hurricanes, we are here to give a sense of normalcy. We try to let high school students experience an important milestone while removing the burden of an extra expense.
Students who apply for our program receive prom attire at the shopping day, held March 28-29, 2009. No financial proof is needed, just an online application and a student ID.
Please visit www.fairygodmotherproject.com to learn more about our program and apply easily online. Applications will be accepted through March 20. Pass the word along!
In these tough economic times, I can imagine how difficult some families are going to find prom. Sounds like a very good project.
