It is time to gear up for the 16th Annual Prom-A-Rama!
This community event helps make it possible for girls to attend prom who might not otherwise be able to. The event involves the collection and give away of donated prom dresses and accessories to any high school girl in Saline County and the surrounding area.
The collection of donated prom dresses began on Feb. 21 and will continue until Friday.
People can drop off their dresses at the following locations.
Any Sunflower Bank location: 176 North Santa Fe Avenue, 2450 South Ninth Street, and 2070 South Ohio Street
Salina South High School, 730 East Magnolia Road
Persons wanting to donate to the event also may call 785 452-5706 and someone will pick up the dresses.
The giveaway is scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 111 West Magnolia Road.
To receive a dress, the girl needs to attend the give away and provide proof of being a high school student. Once the girl has shown her identification, she will be admitted to the give away and there will be volunteers to help her find the perfect dress.
There will also be seamstresses to make on site alterations or minor repairs.
The dresses will be hung on racks by size and any donated accessories will be on tables.
Any dresses not given away at the end of the event will be donated to a non-profit such as the Bargain Basket, Salvation Army Thrift Store, DAV, or Goodwill Industries.
Members of the community minded group that has organized the event are Hank Corcoran Boyer, Beth Parry, Sarah Repp, and Kelly Leonard.
