WHITE PLAINS – Westchester County is partnering with the Operation Prom Network for its annual Prom Dress and Tuxedo Giveaway at the County Center on April 26-28th.
The three-day event, now in its 20th year, provides high quality, high style free and low-cost prom dresses and tuxedos to high school students in Westchester County. This year’s Operation Prom Network is as follows:
Friday, April 26th, 1 to 5 p.m.: Free dresses and tuxedos for high school seniors with valid school ID or transcript. Reservations are required and can be booked online at https://forms.gle/XapMtfDed4WXDJaZ8.
Saturday, April 27th, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.: Free dresses and tuxedos for high school seniors with valid school ID or transcript; no reservation required.
Sunday, April 28th, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.: Open to all students and the general public. Dresses only, $10 donation per dress. Tuxedos/suits not available.
For the second year in a row, the County is making free Bee-Line bus trips to the County Center available for all students participating in Operation Prom. Students should show their school IDs and mention Operation Prom to bus drivers.
“Prom night should be a joyful and exciting experience for every child in Westchester,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said. “No child should have to stay home because they can’t afford an outfit. For 20 years, Noel and Operation Prom have made sure that every child in Westchester can look sharp on prom night, and the County is proud of our continuing partnership in that effort, including offering free bus fare for students taking part. It’s stressful enough asking out a prom date or making sure you have your dance moves together without having to worry about whether or not you can afford a tux or a nice dress.”
