Mount Vernon — Princess for a Night got underway at West Potomac High School last month with gifts and donations of at least a thousand gowns, dresses, shoes, clutch bags and cosmetics for the prom season.
The community rallied and major support came from donations at Top It Off, Gold’s Gym, Heritage Presbyterian Church, Hollin Hall Dry Cleaners, 4Everly After Bridal & Formal, Good Shepherd Catholic Church, Aldersgate United Methodist Church and Sew Perfect Windows.
