| PROJECT PROM
Wright State's Project Linus, a nonprofit organization, will be hosting a prom dress swap at Fairborn High School on February 2, 2008. This is a great opportunity for you to clean out your closet and get rid of your old formal dresses and make some fast money at the same time!
We will charge you ten dollars for each dress that you wish to sell. You put the price on your dress and at the end of the day if your dress is sold you walk away with all the profit. Your only investment is the ten dollar entry fee. If no one buys your dress you can pick it up and take it home.
We are also accepting dress donations; however, we will only take donations before the day of the sale. Please e-mail Cimmeron Taylor at taylor.223@wright.edu, to work out details of donating your dress.
All proceeds will benefit Project Linus to purchase fleece so that we can reach our goal of 1,000 blankets.
