The ladies attended because it would be a way to have fun while shopping for a prom dress. My Sister's Dress is a fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County. Gently used dresses were donated and sold for girls going to prom. Girls can get a dress for $25 or jewelry, purses and other accessories for $5, saving quite a bit on the total cost. The money raised Ð typically about $3,500 each year Ð is gifted to Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County, said Lake in the Hills resident Emily Smith, co-founder and chairwoman for the event.
