The Town of Huntington (TOH) has announced the return of “Project Prom,” an impactful community event dedicated to making prom night memorable for every high school student. Community members are asked to go through their wardrobes for formal dresses, suits and accessories in an effort to enrich the prom experience for town residents in need.

Headed by TOH Supervisor Ed Smyth, in collaboration with Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney and Councilwoman Theresa Mari, and in partnership with the Suffolk County Police Department 2nd Precinct, Project Prom invites community members to participate by donating gently used prom attire.

The initiative embodies the belief that the joy of prom night should be accessible to every student, no matter their financial barriers. On April 4, students will be invited to a boutique experience at the John J. Flanagan Center on Park Avenue, where they can select from a wide range of donated items, allowing them to choose their perfect prom outfit at no cost. 

The Project Prom donation drive will run through March 28. Items can be dropped off Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm at the John J. Flanagan Center at 423 Park Avenue in Huntington, using the red awning entrance.
