Employees donate prom attire, accessories to dress drive
to bring young adults from low-income families an unforgettable prom
experience
Prom is going to be much brighter for 150 local high school seniors,
thanks in part to the efforts of employees at Smart Circle’s
headquarters in Foothill Ranch. Smart Circle employees recently wrapped
up a “100 Dresses” drive to collect donations for Working Wardrobes’
annual “Dream Girls and Distinguished Gentlemen” Prom Event. Together,
Smart Circle employees brought in more than 60 donations of prom attire
and accessories for the students.
The dress drive, which was organized by Smart Circle employee Josie
Yerenas, ran from February 2-17, 2012. The majority of the donations
were prom dresses and men’s dress pants, which accounted for more than
50% of the donations. Employees also brought in men’s suits, dress
shirts, ties, vests, heels/shoes and jewelry. Smart Circle commends
Wendy Gonzalez, Sharon Celis, Erika Larios, Marisa Cirrincione, Gina
Gannon and Suzie Arabpour for their generous donations.
Yerenas brought the donations to the Working Wardrobes donation
location last weekend. In two weeks, Yerenas will serve as a Community
Volunteer at the “Dream Girls and Distinguished Gentlemen” Prom Event.
The event, which will be held on Saturday, March 10, 2012 at the Hilton
Irvine, will provide 150 at-risk high school seniors with a series of
workshops and the opportunity to select their dream attire for prom
night.
