RACINE — Free prom dresses are available to prom-goers in the Greater Racine area through the Belle of the Ball dress boutique.
The Belle of the Ball organization was founded in 2006 by Krystyna Sarrazin to assist young women who do not have the financial means to purchase a prom dress, according to an article previously posted online on the Racine County Eye.
Express Employment Professionals – Racine & Kenosha is continuing their partnership with the nonprofit to help assist students by helping them find formal wear for free for prom.
Contributions made by community members provide prom dresses and accessories that then become available to the public free of charge.
