YMCA
of Springfield Hosts Prom It Forward for Local Teens
(Springfield, IL) February 1,
2019 - The YMCA of Springfield is hosting Prom It Forward on three different
Sundays this year at the Downtown YMCA from 1-3 PM. All girls deserve to go to
prom and take to the dance floor feeling beautiful, and the Y and our partners
are helping each girl find the perfect dress, shoes, and accessories for their
big night.
The Prom-it-Forward dates are
February 24, March 24, and April 28. Prom It Forward is a wonderful way to help
high school girls who may not be able to afford their dream dress purchase
gently used formal dresses and accessories for their perfect prom night. In the
spirit of pay it forward, girls are asked to make a donation to the Y's Strong
Kids Scholarship Fund.

Forward and how to make donations, please visit springfieldymca.org.
