BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Project Prom will take place Saturday, March 9, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 2950 Pineda Plaza Way in Palm Shores. Project Prom is hosted by the Space Coast Association of Realtors and gives students the opportunity to pick up free gently used garments and accessories for their upcoming prom.
This event is for students that may not have the luxury of purchasing an expensive prom dress or suit. Garments are carefully selected for high quality.
I had the opportunity to talk with Samantha Selig, Chairperson of the Space Coast Association of Realtors Community Outreach Committee. She told me about the importance of this event, not only to the students, but to the Space Coast Association of Realtors.
Selig said, “We believe that giving back to our community is just as important as closing deals. Project Prom is just one example of how we are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of our local students and their families. Seeing the joy and gratitude on the faces of the students and their parents makes all the effort and resources we put into this project truly worth it.”
There will be a photo area, light refreshments, and much more at this free event.
