A Prom To Remember Hosting Dress Extravaganza, Fundraiser

The organizers of a Prom To Remember -- a dance especially for teens who have been affected by cancer -- will hold its second annual Dress Extravaganza from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Tower City Center.

Girls who are attending the dance can pick from the more than 700 new and gently used dresses that were donated.

Brown Aveda Institute will also be on hand offering mini spa services to give girls a touch of glamour while practicing their prom night routines.

Payless is giving each of the girls a gift card to buy shoes and The Fussy Cleaners are offering them a complimentary dress cleaning.

Several Lake County businesses, schools and organizations have donated to A Prom To Remember these last two years -- partly because it's a great cause and partly because it is spearheaded by Jane and Michael Knausz of MK Photography in Mentor.

People will have more chances to support the dance during a fundraiser Feb. 25 at Branding Iron Cookhouse. All the money put into the tip jar at the bar that day will go to A Prom To Remember. Also, the Knauszes will have 50/50 and Chinese raffles to raise money.

Those who wish to donate a prize for the raffle or otherwise support A Prom To Remember can call 440-639-1152 or contact the Ohio Prom To Remember Facebook page.
