School officials will give away 500 free prom dresses, as well as shoes, handbags and other accessories. Dresses, which run from sizes 0 to 30, will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
To be eligible to receive a new or slightly-used dress, junior and senior students need only show a valid student identification card from any public, private, parochial or charter school.
Students can also take advantage of free makeup tutorials at the event.
The giveaway is scheduled to run from 3-7 p.m. at 440 North Broad Street.
