Dress it Forward!

Sometimes one person is all it takes to make a difference.  Last year Abel, a junior at Abington Senior High School, launched a program called Dress it Forward.  One of her friends was not going to be able to attend her prom because she could not afford a dress and the idea for dress it forward was launched.

Last year, four girls were given the opportunity to feal like a princess at their prom because of Abel and the remaining donated dresses went to the Wilson Park Boys & Girls Club in Philadelphia.  Thanks to this motivated high school student Dress it Forward for the Wilson Park Boys & Girls Club will be back again this year. 

Abel has collected approximately 30 dresses from her drop-off locations at Bunn’s Natural Foods in Southampton, Linda’s Loft in Jenkintown, Leto’s Cleaners in Huntingdon Valley and Abington Senior High School.  Donations will be accepted until April 11.
