A Call For Suits

Bringing equality to the young men heading to prom.....

Over the years young ladies have prom dress swap events happening all through the Bay Area, but nothing is happening to help the young men save $100’s of dollar on this lifetime memory of High School.

If this is you and you would like to help, please contact me at becky.bourdo@gmail.com.

Many of our local Senior Ball’s will be taking place in May and during my calls to our local rentals, suits and tuxes are renting for $100.00+ after discounts are applied. We have collected almost 75 dresses in less than a week to hold a dress swap event saving young ladies the cost of expensive gowns and now hoping we can bring an equally success to our young men.....
