All items will be distributed free of charge to girls across Long Island who cannot easily afford a new gown for their prom, awards ceremony or graduation. High school guidance counselors, at-risk youth agencies, group homes and church outreaches make the program available to their constituents. More than 1,500 girls benefited in 2015 from 65 different schools and nonprofit youth organizations across Long Island.
