“Over the past two years, we have seen numerous teens and their families feel a great sense of relief knowing that they are able to enjoy one of the most memorable events of a high schooler’s life with less stress by removing many barriers that exist,” said Alison Vaughn, Jackets for Jobs founder and executive director, in a news release. “To see their reaction and emotions, in addition to their families’ reaction, when they know they have the right dress and accessories is truly a heartwarming moment knowing that they can experience these special moments.”
