In 2008, Becca Tointon wanted to donate four bridesmaid dresses to a good cause and found that no local agency collected them. Soon after that, under the umbrella of North Midland Family Center and in cooperation with the Midland Newcomers Club, Becca started "Share the Memories".
The organization's seeks to provide underprivileged high school girls the opportunity to attend prom by removing the financial barriers created by the expense of a dress. Thanks to a large team of volunteers and the generous support of the community, Share the Memories has provided 750 girls with prom dresses.
Park Place Homes is a long time supporter of Share the Memories and is thrilled to once again be able to offer our office as a collection location. Anytime between now and March 7th you may drop off any new or gently used dresses and we will deliver them for the event. Share the Memories is also accepting other prom related items such as gift certificates for a salon appointment, accessories, or prom tickets which will be raffled off during the event.
With a large selection of dresses available and continued increase in awareness of Share the Memories, we expected 2013 to be the best year yet!
