Nothing! Gowns for Grads wants you to enjoy and celebrate your amazing achievement.  But, we need donations to keep the program running. Please DONATE your dress back to us so another student can benefit in the future. 

We accept donations of Gowns year round and ESPECIALLY need dresses in sizes 0-2 and, 16 and up.  We would also love to receive your donations of evening shoes and evening bags.  Items NOT suitable for our program are skirts, tops, pants, jackets, and casual wear.
