The Denver alumnae chapter of Alpha Phi and
Cherry Creek High School's About
Hope4All, a student organization dedicated to
community service benefiting children,
hosted the 6th Annual Prom Dress Exchange on March 20, 2004 at the Marriott Denver Southeast.
Young women were invited to attend to find the "perfect" prom dress for prom
in exchange for a $10
donation.
"This
event allows young ladies the chance to experience high school prom
without the financial burden. Anyone interested in being
involved can donate a dress for an individual that cannot afford to buy
a new one,"
said Holly Brown, Alpha Phi Denver alumnae
chapter marketing director. Women who selected dresses last year were
also given the opportunity to bring them to the event in exchange for a
new dress.
Mrs.
America 1991 and Pageantry Magazine columnist Kristianna Nichols also
offered hairstyling tips to attendees.
Alpha Phi
