Donate items to prom store
You only have a couple days left to donate to Dundee-Crown High School's Prom Fashion Store. The store is asking for new and gently used formalwear, which it will sell to students attending prom at affordable prices. All items will cost $20 or less. The second annual prom store, sponsored by the high school's Beta Club, aims to help students defray the rising cost of attending prom. Donations will be accepted through Wednesday. To donate, call (847) 426-1799 or bring items to the Dundee-Crown Counseling Department, 1 Charger Country, Carpentersville. Items will be on sale at the school from Thursday to April 12.
