Comerica Bank to Collect Prom Dresses for Dallas CASA and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas Teens During February

Comerica Bank will host its annual North Texas Prom Dress Drive, benefitting Dallas CASA and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas, during the month of February.  Six Dallas-area Comerica banking centers will serve as drop-off locations for new or gently used, cleaned formal dresses and accessories. Donations will benefit local teens, who otherwise may not be able to afford formal attire and experience the high school tradition of prom.  Comerica has donated close to 5,600 dresses to Dallas CASA and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas over the last seven years.

Supported by professional staff, volunteers gather information and make recommendations to help judges decide the services each child needs to heal from trauma and the best outcome for a safe and permanent home. For many foster children, a CASA volunteer is the only consistent, caring adult during a frightening, uncertain time.  Now in its 43rd year, Dallas CASA serves more children than any of the more than 900 CASA programs nationwide. In 2022, 1,324 Dallas CASA volunteers were assigned to advocate for 2,611 children in protective care. CASA depends on the community’s generosity and commitment to make sure every child in need has a CASA volunteer advocate. To learn more, visit dallascasa.org.
