‘Primp for Prom’ Providing Free Formals to Area High School Students; Donations Still Being Accepted

Northwestern Oklahoma State University’s department of social work and Woodward High School are joining forces once again to look for donations of formal dresses, shoes and jewelry for its annual “Primp for Prom” event set for March 23-24 in Woodward.

Primp for Prom is an annual spring event for high school students in the northwest/tristate area to pick out formal attire and accessories at no charge. This year’s event will take place at the Woodward High School practice gym on Thursday, March 23, from 1 to 7 p.m. and Friday, March 24, from 9 a.m. to noon. The practice gym is located at 13th Street and Downs Avenue in Woodward.

“The Northwestern department of social work is always honored to co-sponsor Primp for Prom,” said Dr. Kylene Rehder, social work department chair and professor of social work. “We are thrilled with the opportunity to provide gorgeous dresses and accessories to area high school students for free so they can attend their events in style. The success of this event relies on the generosity of others; therefore, we are so grateful to our donors.”

Students will be able to choose from all sizes, styles and colors that are donated. Fitting rooms also will be available for trying on dresses.

Donations of formal attire and accessories may be dropped off at Woodward High School at 13th and Downs Avenue in Woodward or at Northwestern’s Woodward campus at 2007 34th Street. In Alva, donations may be delivered to Northwestern’s Wellness Center or in Enid to their campus location at 2929 E. Randolph. For questions, please contact Rehder at kdrehder@nwosu.edu or Stefanie Alexander at (580) 256-2858.
