This program is designed to help expecting graduates who are in need of a prom dress, tuxedo, shoes, accessories, and other graduate memorabilia.  These are the students whose families are not financially able to afford the costs.  We are able to keep this program running successfully by your generous donations and clothing contributions to help those who are in need.  

How does this program work?

We do a survey of the local high schools in the MD, DC & VA and select two high schools with the most request for assistance.  These are the students whose families are not financially able to purchase all or some of the items needed for prom or graduation.

The STBA Association will collect items from the public and prior students (prom gowns, purses, suits, shoes and some accessories) who have already decided to donate these items back to help another student for upcoming year.  We will host a give-away by scheduling a date and time with the school to distribute each item as needed. 

In our efforts to assure that each student has what he or she needs to wear, we request that the school match our donation with: prom tickets, year book, or photo package for each student that participates. 

How can you help?

You can help by contacting us through our "Contact Us" page of what clothing items you who like to contribute to this program or you can make a kind donation by accessing our "Memberships & Payment" page, and completing an online payment that will assist with the contributions we will provide for the students.
