Making prom dreams come true

(WTNH) - For many young women, high school prom is a pivotal coming-of-age ritual. But, the rising costs of attending prom leaves many young women feeling frustrated and many times unable to attend prom.

Citizens Bank, in partnership with The Fairy Godmother Initiative and the Connecticut Association of Foster and Adoptive Parents , want to ensure that all girls have a chance to look great on prom night -- especially girls in the foster care system.

There are two events where the dresses will be given away.

Registration required:

Saint Clements Castle, Portland
