Prom Dresses for New Orleans
In March, Discovery Communications participated in “Prom Dresses for New Orleans,” a program started in 2006 by then high school student, Marisa West. Realizing that hundreds of her peers would not have prom gowns due to the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina, West’s goal was to collect 100 dresses to send to the girls of New Orleans. That year, 2,800 dresses were donated from people around the country, and over 1,000 pieces of jewelry were sent to high school girls throughout New Orleans.
