Pasco County teen girls have a new venue to visit to pick up dresses for their upcoming proms.

The folks behind the Cinderella Project have announced a venue change for the upcoming March 23 pickup. That’s the date high school girls from all over West Pasco and beyond can report to pick up dresses and accessories they may not otherwise be able to afford.
