‘Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta' Host Monte Durham on Supporting Students with ‘Say Yes to the Prom’ (Exclusive)
“Say Yes to the Prom” hit its final stop in Los Angeles this week.
Students were joined by host of “Say Yes To The Dress Atlanta,” Monte Durham, and employee volunteers from Warner Bros. Discovery, including Chief People and Culture Officer Adria Alpert Romm as they hosted a full day of shopping for students.
“Extra” was on hand as 500 students in Los Angeles received styling sessions and help to discover their own unique prom style.
This was the 12th year for the “Say Yes to the Prom” event. Romm shared, “We’ve made a difference for our employees, and we’ve made a difference for the students. The students connect with our employees, they feel confident, they have a day where no one has treated them to something like this before.”
Monte weighed in on the experience, saying, “When I get to see and talk to the students about this experience…It’s pretty amazing…I think what’s really inspiring to me to watch the students really support each other.”
This year’s “Say Yes to the Prom” experience includes a selection of on-trend dresses and thousands of shoes and accessories from Macy’s, as well as custom tuxedo fittings and trend-forward menswear rentals provided by Men’s Wearhouse. Cosmetics were donated by Glamnetic, Glamlite, and Lottie London, while L’Oréal USA donated thousands of products, including fragrances, makeup, and cosmetic tools for hair and makeup consultations from established CNN stylists.
