High Voltage Youth Camp is Collecting Prom Dresses For Local Economically Disadvantaged Teens

With prom approaching, local high schools girls are looking to find that perfect dress, but in this recession some won't be able to afford it. That's why High Voltage is stepping in, and we need your support.

We are collecting prom dresses so young women, who might otherwise not be able to, can enjoy prom night. We hope to have at least 100 dresses to choose from in all different styles, so the girls can really feel like special on their prom night.

If you would like to donate a dress for prom night, you can drop it off at Alex J. Bellow Agency, 1801 Stumpf Blvd., Ste. 2B, or call 504-365-1220. High Voltage, Inc. is partnering with the Bellow Agency, and Hands On New Orleans. Donations for this event are accepted on-line. Volunteers can sign up at: Disney Give a Day Get a Day

More than 428,000 people attended the festival breaking last year’s attendance record of 278,000 festival goers. It is reported that there will be $130 million of economic impact for the City of New Orleans as a result of the festival.
