Miss Texas Organization Collects Prom Gowns



MISS TEXAS ORGANIZATION TEAMS UP WITH CAITLIN’S CLOSET
Contestants Collect over $300,000 worth of gently worn prom gowns


Fort Worth, Texas – April 18, 2008 – Over 2300 special occasion dresses were collected during a dress drive hosted by Miss Texas and Miss Teen Texas on behalf of Caitlin’s Closet, a non-profit organization which collects gently worn prom gowns and distributes them to girls who would otherwise not be able to afford to attend their proms. Caitlin’s Closet was founded by Caitlin Brunell, Miss America’s Outstanding Teen.


"It's really amazing what 78 individuals can come together and do in only four short weeks!” said Lydia Hall, Director of Miss Teen Texas. “Our local titleholders have given over 2300 young women in seven Texas school districts the opportunity to have a pretty outfit to wear on their special day. I am so very proud to be part of an organization that fosters such endeavors!"

38 Miss Teen Texas local titleholders and 40 Miss Texas local titleholders showed up at the Burleson High School in Burleson, Texas with bags of dresses under their arms on the first Saturday in April. These young women will go on to compete in the Miss Teen Texas and Miss Texas Pageants, July 1st-5th in Fort Worth, Texas.
