It's been three years since Alaska high school students have enjoyed a proper prom experience, but it's back in full this year, and a nonprofit is helping foot the bill for dresses.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Rows of dresses, filled with sequins and different sizes, are waiting for high schools students to sort through them this spring., a national nonprofit organization, is donating free dresses to Alaska high school students, in addition to shoes and accessories, through its Anchorage chapter.
With hundreds of dresses to choose from at the education center on E. Northern Lights Boulevard, Marshall said there is something for everyone. Dresses are sorted by size and color, allowing students to have a stress-free experience in finding the perfect dress. All the dresses at Becca’s Closet were donated by the community and include brand names such as David’s Bridal and Banana Republic. Some dresses still have the tags attached.
“We haven’t had a chance to get a junior prom, so for a lot of us, this is our first big dance,” Jamieson said.
