    Date: Mar 28, 2019

    It is prom season. For a lot of New Jersey high schoolers, the prom is a memorable experience.

    But many young ladies will never get to experience the prom because they cannot afford a dress. Star 99.1 FM is doing something to change that.

    Star, the popular Christian radio station, is partnering with Catherine’s Closet of Wayne and Newark to collect hundreds of prom dresses for girls. (Related: Tim Tebow’s Night To Shine Celebrates VIPs from NJ and NY’s Special Needs Community)

    • Mail dresses to Catherine’s Closet, 24 Dwight St., Wayne N.J. 07470.
    • Drop off dresses at Catherine’s Closet in Newark, April 6 from 8:30 to 11 a.m.
