Efforts began in 2011 as part of a dress donation drive in Silver Spring, Md., the home of Discovery Communications and parent company of TLC, the Discovery Channel, the Science Channel, as well as other educational networks.

“Say Yes to the Prom” creator Adria Alpert Romm wrote in a press release the effort is growing into a “nationwide initiative with an exceptional, impactful mission–to give underserved, deserving students across the country an unforgettable prom experience.”
