"  This year, you can make sure every girl who wants to go to her prom has the chance, even if she thought she couldn&amp;#039;t afford it. It all starts with donating a dress! And if you are personally in need of a dress, keep reading \u2014 your fairy tale ending is here! At Seventeen, we support DonateMyDress.org, the first national campaign to encourage young women around the country to donate their prom and special occasion dresses to those who can&amp;#039;t afford the costly experience of going to their prom on their own. The site features a directory of local dress drive organizations across the U.S. that enable you to easily find out where you can donate or receive a dress. In 2010, DonateMyDress.org keeps growing bigger and better! Here are easy ways you can support: 1. Find out where you can donate a dress in the directory here. 2. Bid on a celebrity dress in the charitybuzz auction beginning on March 9. Leona Lewis, Ashley Greene, Jordin Sparks, and Selena Gomez are just a few of the amazing donors! Proceeds will support &amp;quot;The Purple Dress Awards,&amp;quot; which are grants to help dress drive organizations with their operational costs. 3. Start your own dress drive! As of January 2010, DonateMyDress.org will have a guidebook that you can download. 4. Follow DonateMyDress.org&amp;#039;s Twitter and Facebook page so that you are the first to receive details on exciting partnerships with the stores and brands you love...they&amp;#039;ll help you support the dress chapters, without costing you a cent! If you need a dress, don&amp;#039;t be shy! Find an organization located near you in the directory here, visit their Website or email their president, and check when they are planning to distribute dresses this year.
