Prom Dress Project

St. Francis Medical Center Foundation (SFMCF) is proud to announce the 2nd Annual Prom Dress Project.


Last year, SFMCF provided over 200 high school juniors and seniors prom dress packages (including dresses, accessories, shoes and makeup) at our Prom Dress Giveaway Boutique.  With your support, SFMCF hopes to continue this amazing event possible.


In addition to providing prom and graduation attire, SFMCF is expanding to include business attire for young ladies entering the workforce and/or going on college interviews.  Proper business attire is extremely important and will undoubtedly benefit the recipient immediately.
