Warner Robins High School student council collects dresses to make prom dreams come true.

There are so many formal parties in the county and usually a girl wears a particular dress once. It makes sense to make those little-worn dresses available to high school girls who might not want to pay a few hundred dollars for a dress that they will only wear once. That's why the student council is collecting new and nearly new formal dresses, to be sold in the 2nd annual Demon Dress Drive.

Once the dresses are collected, they will be sold at Warner Robins High School. All proceeds from the sale of the dresses will be donated to Houston County Foster Care program. Young women from all schools are welcome to participate in the sale.

This years sale was larger than last year, as there was much more media coverage than before. There were over 60 girls and mothers in line when the doors opened at 10am. The amount of funds raised was doubled from last year. Thanks to our sponsors, Sharing Elegance, Strato Menswear, Flint Energies and Americom Realty.
