Lennox After Prom
Prom is just around the corner. Here is your chance to help with the After Prom Party. Shoot me an email if you would like to donate to the prizes for the event. We are accepting gift cards, college swag, items for a college dorm and pretty much anything a teenager would like. Prizes can be as small as bingo prizes to a futon for a dorm.
