Holy Innocents' Episcopal School will be accepting donated prom dresses on Wednesday and Thursday that will be given to girls who want to attend the prom but can't afford to buy a dress.

The school's efforts are being led by Emily Merrill, a Holy Innocents senior who hopes to collect and donate 100 dresses of all styles and sizes.

Donors will have their name entered into a drawing for a $150 gift certificate from Tiffany & Co. Two names will be drawn and winners will be able to use their certificate at Tiffany's.
