Montgomery County Recreation will host the “Project Prom Dress” giveaway event from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday, April 15, at the Marilyn J. Praisner Community Recreation Center in Burtonsville. Any high school student with their school I.D. card can shop, try-on and take home a free dress or suit and accessories so they are ready for their school’s prom.

The Marilyn J. Praisner Community Recreation Center is located at 14906 Columbia Pike in Burtonsville.

The event will have hundreds of items that have been donated by members of the community throughout February and March. The project helps decrease the financial obstacles of attending prom.
