Supervisor Daniel J. Panico has announced the results of the Town of Brookhaven’s 2025 INTERFACE Prom Gown Program, coordinated by the Department of General Services Youth Bureau.
This year the program provided prom gown dresses, shoes, and accessories to more than 160 high school students in Brookhaven Town.“Beyond dresses, shoes, and accessories, the Youth Bureau’s Prom Gown Program fosters confidence, inclusion, and celebration by ensuring financial barriers don’t prevent students from experiencing their prom,” Supervisor Panico said.
“This helps boost self-esteem and creates lasting memories, benefiting both students and their families.”Prom Gown Program Information:
