About Say Yes to the Prom
Now in its sixth year, Say Yes to the Prom is an annual giveback initiative from TLC and parent company Discovery Communications designed to remove the financial burden of prom for deserving high school students across the U.S. and prepare them as they look ahead towards college and careers. An extension of TLC’s popular Say Yes to the Dress franchise, in 2017 Say Yes to the Prom will host events in five U.S. cities to impact nearly 1,000 academically high-achieving and underserved high school girls and boys with a day of mentorship, prom dress shopping, tuxedo rentals, and one-on-one style sessions with TLC’s Monte Durham. Going beyond the dress and tuxedo, educational extensions including scholarship, mentorship and internship opportunities extend the impact of the program for participants long beyond prom night.
