Prom dresses needed

Comerica Bank will host its 10th annual North Texas Prom Dress Drive during the month of February at seven participating banking centers. Donations will benefit local teens served by Boys & Girls Clubs of Collin County, Dallas CASA and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas, who otherwise may not be able to afford formal attire and experience the high school tradition of prom. Project Beauty also has joined forces with the bank as an official drive partner and will collect dresses and donate beauty swag bags as well as provide a complimentary prom night makeover (full hair and makeup) to one lucky teen from each benefitting agency (three to be selected in total). Individuals and businesses can drop off new or gently used, cleaned formal dresses (including plus sizes, 20 and up) and accessories (shoes, purses and jewelry). Since 2015, Comerica has donated close to 6,600 dresses, including 380 in 2024, to Dallas CASA and Boys & Girls Clubs of Collin County and Greater Dallas.
