We will be accepting donations on March 1st, 3rd, 8th, 22nd, and 24th from 6 pm - 7:30 pm, during Latinos Unidos and Black Student Union's meeting times respectively in the Willow/Walnut Rooms.
Then, during the week on either March 22nd or March 24th stop into Willow/Walnut and see the stock to get a dress or suit.

All unclaimed items will be donated to Once Upon a Prom and you can learn more information about their organization here.

 We look forward to seeing you and being a part of helping make someone's gala Dream Come True!
