The 2026 dress drive season is underway across Wisconsin
Get involved

Four ways to make a dance night possible

Donate a dress, give financially, host a drive at your school, or volunteer at a dress drop. Every contribution puts a Wisconsin teen one step closer to their own dance dress.

Ways to help

Pick the way that fits you

Host a drive at your school

Run a dress drive with your school, club, or community group. We'll help you collect lightly loved gowns for teens in your area.

Host a drive

Volunteer at a dress drop

Help students browse, try on, and choose their gowns at our mobile trailer. No experience needed — just a warm welcome.
