The Prom Closet

Young boys and girls throughout the state will be able to attend their high school prom this spring without having to spend a single penny on purchasing needed attire thanks to the efforts of Arizona Rotarians.

During the first two weekends in April, The Prom Closet – a project spearheaded by the Peoria North Rotary Club -- will once again provide formal prom attire to boys and girls at absolutely no charge.

This year’s Prom Closet takes place 9 a.m.-2 p.m. April 6-7 and April 13-14 at the Glendale System of Care Center, 7677 W. Bethany Home Road, in Glendale.

All high school teens are invited. There are no financial requirements and no application to be completed. All items are available at absolutely no cost.

The Prom Closet has thousands of formal prom dresses to choose from, as well as shoes and accessories. In addition to women’s clothing and accessories, items available to men include formal jackets, shirts, pants, and ties.
