I think that's great. You know, when I was a senior in HS I was in a teen-moms' program thru the public HS in Quincy. While we, as seniors or juniors, could have attended the 'regular' proms, most of us didn't have the cash to shell out for the tickets, dresses, tuxes for our dates, etc. Somehow one of the girls got in touch with someone else, and before we knew it we had a ton of used, donated dresses for each of us to choose from, a donated hall, a caterer donated their services, a tux rental places offered us huge discounts and my mom even went and bought each girl a rose and her date a bouteniere (sp?) and we had our own teen-moms' prom. It was amazing. And Iknow that if it hadn't been for the donations of everyone, especially the dresses, most of those girls would never have been able to experience a prom. I will never forget it. Ihope your company is able to generate a lot of donations. If I still had any of my old dresses I'd definitely donate!
