Year in Review

In 2024, the Operation Prom National Network, Inc. (OPNN) provided free prom dresses and tuxedos to students in 9 states across the U.S. As the average cost of prom continues to rise, so does the demand for OPNN’s resources. Requests from students and schools increased by 35% across the country compared to 2023, as did requests from community-based organizations and government agencies.

This year, OPNN marked its 20th anniversary of providing free prom formal wear to students. By offering the perfect prom attire, OPNN helps boost teens’ selfesteem, allowing them to celebrate their educational accomplishments with their peers without the financial burden.

“Through the commitment of Prom Connecticut, you are conscious of the circumstances that encompass the daily lives of many students, especially those from the modest economic backgrounds. Without your assistance, many students would not attend prom. The CT Fatherhood Initiative is grateful and proud to receive the most elegant formalwear donations from such a philanthropic and compassionate organization.”
