Make prom a dream come true for teens

Comerica Bank is collecting clean prom dresses and formal wear for local teens who dream of a special prom night and might otherwise not be able to attend their high school prom. Clean and gently used formal wear is dropped off at participating Comerica Bank locations, then delivered to Dallas CASA and Boys and Girls Clubs of Dallas. Members of Dallas CASA’s staff and Children’s Council sort the formal wear on shopping racks, creating a shopping boutique in Dallas CASA’s training facility. Teens served by Dallas CASA make appointments to select formal wear and accessories, including shoes, purses and jewelry as well as gift bags of donated beauty products for their special night. For many teen victims of abuse or neglect, attending prom looking their best is a chance to feel like any other teen for a few hours. Items may be donated the entire month of February at select Comerica Bank locations. — Rosanne Lewis
