Nonprofit needs gently used dresses, accessories for its Prom Boutique
From staff reports
The Junior Service League of Beaufort is preparing for its 13th annual prom dress event where the group sets up a boutique – this year the Fancy And Free prom boutique – and provides high school students from Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton counties an opportunity to “shop” for formal dresses to wear to their prom for free.
With the date of the prom boutique quickly approaching, JSLB is asking people to donate their used formal and semiformal dresses and accessories. Drop-off locations include Beaufort Chiropractic (22 Professional Village Circle, Beaufort), Kinghorn Insurance (910 Carteret Street, Beaufort), Inner Peace Spa (48 Pennington Drive, Bluffton), Lux Medical Spa (350 Fording Island Road No. 101, Bluffton), and Pink Magazine (37 New Orleans Road Unit M, Hilton Head Island).
The donations will be put to use at the Fancy and Free Prom Boutique to be held from 1 to 4 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 24 at Bridges Preparatory School, 555 Robert Smalls Parkway, Beaufort.
At the event, each girl has the opportunity to pick out a gently used dress and matching accessories to wear for her Junior/Senior Prom for free. All local female students are invited to attend the event.
Public school students will need to bring their student ID. Private school students will need a signed note on letterhead from a teacher, guidance counselor or administrator from their school.
Each girl may bring one friend to the event.
