Free formalwear for teens offered
Schaumburg Township's Spectrum Youth and Family Services and the Vogelei Teen Center will host a Prom Formalwear Gala for teens from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday.
Items at the gala will include gently used and new prom dresses, shoes, jewelry, evening bags, men's slacks, shirts, ties, shoes, etc. These items will be free to teens, and there will also be a raffle to win more free prizes.
Teens do not necessarily have to be going to prom this year; they can come and get formalwear for any special occasion.
The event will be held at Spectrum Youth and Family Service's gymnasium in Schaumburg Township Hall, 1 Illinois Blvd., Hoffman Estates. Transportation will be provided to the gym for teens; meet at Vogelei promptly at 3:45 p.m.
