With the success of Hoboken Girl Help’s first event at Women Rising, we are proud to announce our Prom Prep Rally Fundraiser to help out students at Hoboken High School and surrounding Jersey City high schools.

^These may or may not be wedding dresses, but as Beyoncé would do [to the Grammys], you can totes wear a wedding dress to your prom.

What happens next? 

All donated items will be set up at Hoboken High School for students in need to look through on April 27th with Tiffany Piñero, helping students pick out an outfit. Each dress will cost $5 , jewelry will cost $3 per piece, and each makeup item will cost $1 — 100% of the money raised during this “sale” will go towards Suits for Success {a non-profit that helps adult individuals on their quest for full-time employment} — which is a great way to pay it forward to another organization in need. If interested in helping volunteer on 4/27/17 from 2PM-6PM, please email hobokengirlteam@gmail.com

How do I spread the word about this?

Easy peasy! Please share this link with family, friends, business contacts in the area on social media! And just for kicks, we’re sharing our best “prom pic” on Instagram for all to see and share this:
