Vantage Donates 220 Prom Dresses for Local Event

Vantage Health Information Management students fill a van with donated dresses which were delivered to Kaitlyn’s Cottage located in Defiance.

Vantage Health Information Management (HIM) program instructor Ms. Diane Font and students collected homecoming, prom, and bridesmaid attire for the Tim Tebow Foundation who provides a yearly prom night experience for people with special needs, ages 14 and older.  “A Night to Shine” is held in many cities and countries around the world. With the help of Vantage staff and student, as well as community members far and wide, Ms. Font and her students were able to collect an astounding 220 dresses, 104 of which were thoughtfully donated by Chris Edwards and Robin Kraner of The Shelly Company.

“On behalf of myself and The Health Information Management students here at Vantage, we would like to send thanks to our students, homeschool communities and partners for your donations and kind words of encouragement through another triumphant dress drive,” said Ms. Font. “We were able to acquire 220 beautiful reminders that giving is the key to a full heart.” 

All dresses were transported to Kaitlyn’s Cottage, located in Defiance, Ohio, who is hosting the annual event on February 7, 2020.
