Space Coast Association of REALTORS® 2022 Project Prom Event.
PALM SHORES, FL, – On Saturday, April 2nd, 2022, the Space Coast Association of REALTORS® hosted the 2022 Project Prom community event.
At the beginning of March, the Space Coast Association of REALTORS® Community Outreach Committee started collecting gently used formal attire. The outreach from our community was incredible! The goal was to assure all local students had the opportunity to go and enjoy their special dances and have the most memorable prom night possible. We want the students to look and feel their best and enjoy making these traditional high school memories.
“When the School Board first reached out asking if we would consider hosting this event since there hasn’t been a prom in the past couple of years, we knew we had to make it happen for the students in our community,” said Melissa Goldman, Chairperson of the Space Coast Association of Realtors® Government Affairs Committee.
During the Project Prom event, Brevard County school students had the opportunity to receive fashionable prom outfits, for free. Teens came and chose from over 500 gently used dresses, 200 pairs of shoes, a selection of accessories, ties, belts, suits, and tuxes. With the support of our remarkable community, the students were also able to receive mini makeovers, including styled hair, haircuts, and makeup. Free corsage and boutonniere vouchers, refreshments, and photographs were also included on the day of the event.
“The event turned out better than we could have imagined. The highlight of my day was parents coming up and thanking us for hosting the event, they weren’t sure how they would have afforded for their child to attend if we didn’t offer the Project Prom event” said Samantha Selig, Chairperson of the Space Coast Association of Realtors® Community Outreach Committee.
Our members, community donors, volunteers, and partnerships are the heroes of this event. All items from dresses and suits, shoes, ties, jewelry, and accessories come from the generosity of individuals as well as local businesses. The strength of the event is found in its volunteers. From steaming hundreds of dresses, setting up, tearing down and everything in between, our volunteers are what made this event shine.
“We were optimistic and looked forward to welcoming as many young people as we could during the 2022 Project Prom. We were not quite sure how this day would pan out after not having the event the past couple of years but The Space Coast Association of Realtors® Community Outreach Committee, along with the Association members really stepped up and made such a remarkable project, a reality. We look forward to providing this event for our Brevard County students for years to come”. Said Jim Britton, President of the Space Coast Association of Realtors®
Our hope is the community will continue with their remarkable support and our students will know, that prom is one stressor they certainly will not have to worry about. We want them to know that they'll be able to focus on making the best memories they can while we take care of the rest. We look forward to watching this event flourish.
