Prom Project gets into full swing

By Brock Ormond Feb 17, 2026 | 4:19 PM

Get ready to shine!

The Children’s Foundation and The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation, in partnership with the Quinte Mall, are excited to announce the upcoming Prom Project Giveaway Days.

Prom Project ensures that every elementary and secondary student can celebrate their milestone moments in style — free of charge. By removing financial barriers, Prom Project helps students access the formal wear they need so they can attend their prom or graduation feeling confident, included, and celebrated because every student deserves their moment.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, students can choose from a wide selection of formal wear including dresses, suits and separates, shoes, and accessories.

Welcoming volunteers are ready to help each student find the perfect outfit for their special day.
