As any parent of a teen knows all too well, the cost of attending a school prom can be extremely costly, especially for those living on low incomes. One school nurse working in Columbus in the US decided to launch a scheme to donate prom dresses to ensure no pupil was left out of the fun of the school prom.

Known as the Closet Extravaganza, the scheme was launched 6 years and is held every other year. The Extravaganza is growing in popularity year on year with 60 girls receiving prom dresses through the generous donations the first year, and 180 attending the following Closet extravaganza picking their prom outfit from the 400 dresses which had been donated.

As well as offering the all-important prom dress to youngsters in the Columbus area, the Closet Extravaganza also provides accessories such as shoes, jewellery, and handbags to complete the prom look perfectly.

Jean Kamrath, the school nurse at Columbus High School, said she was inspired to launch the scheme due to the high levels of poverty in the area, and she wanted to ensure that no teen was unable to attend their prom because of the expense involved.

This year’s Closet Extravaganza is due to take place early next month, all donations are welcome.
