Prom for Pennies

Prom for Pennies is an event sponsored by the Monroe High School Junior Optimists Club. The event provides area high school girls the opportunity to purchase a gently used prom or formal dress. The Prom for Pennies event will be held on Sunday, January 28, 2018, at Monroe High School from 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.
All area students are invited to shop for their dream dress at the event. There is no admission charge and dresses are marked with a “suggested” donation ranging from $5 to $40 each. Cash or checks are accepted, no credit cards. This year we will have more than 800 dresses – about 1/3 of these are new dresses thanks to donations from Brandi’s in New Glarus, Bridal Boutique in Platteville, Julie’s Bridal in Monroe and Vera’s in Madison.
All proceeds from the event will be donated to Jacob’s SWAG Foundation, Inc. Jacob’s SWAG Foundation, Inc. was created to raise funds to help provide educational programs in the schools and community youth programs in the areas of bullying, suicide prevention/awareness, mental health and making good life choices.
