The Priceless Gown Project is an organization that empowers and enlightens young women to strive for excellence via events, workshops and community service. One of their long-standing events is providing free prom dresses for hundreds of girls in the Maryland and District of Columbia area.
Admission is free on a first come, first serve basis, however, early arrival is suggested due to the limited quantity and sizes of inventory. The Priceless Gown Project offers a unique shopping experience where students have time to review a large inventory of new and gently used donated gowns, try them on in the dressing room area and depart with the gown of their choice for absolutely no cost.
Local Maryland and District of Columbia high school juniors and seniors with proof of current school enrollment are eligible to attend the Priceless Gown Project Prom Dress Giveaway. Students must present a valid school ID card, a letter from their principal or guidance counselor, or current report card to prove current enrollment in high school. The Priceless Gown Project currently relies on the honesty of the students to verify financial need.
