Owens Community College to Host Prom Dress Sale for
Community
Special to The Truth
Area high school students and their families searching for
that hard-to-find prom dress and accompanying accessories
are welcomed to visit Owens Community College as the Gay
Straight Alliance Club host the 4th annual Prom Dress Sale
on Saturday, April 12.
The Prom Dress Sale will take place from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
inside the Student Health and Activities Center located on
the Toledo-area campus on Oregon Road in Perrysburg
Township. Admission to this event is free and open to the
public.
During the event, high school students and their families
will have the opportunity to choose from an assortment of
over 400 prom dresses and accessories for minimal cost of $5
for dresses and .50 cents to $1 for accessories. Featured
items available for purchase will be gently used dresses,
shoes, purses, gloves and jewelry, among other prom
accessories. A Mary Kay representative will also be
available to talk to participants.
Additionally, shopping mentors will be available to assist
individuals in their shopping experience.
The Prom Dress Sale was established to ensure that price is
not an issue for high school students who want to have that
spectacular prom experience. All proceeds raised from the
prom dress initiative will be used to benefit future
community outreach activities for the Gay Straight Alliance
Club.
Owens’ Gay Straight Alliance Club was founded with the
overall purpose of raising awareness about a variety of
issues and causes relating to the LGBTQQIAAP (Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Allied,
Asexual, Pansexual) community. Comprised of Owens students,
employees and alumni, the group is committed to advocating
for the acceptance of cultural differences, global unity,
disability awareness and various needs that impact the
surrounding communities.
