The shirts are navy and offered in short-sleeved ($10) and long-sleeved ($15). A short-sleeved shirt provides 24 meals and a long-sleeved shirt provides 32 meals.

Have you heard about our Prom Draw (lol)?
We think we are nearing the end of the swell of media attention paid to our 'Prom Draw' tradition--at least we hope so. A quick tally of our national coverage reaches from 'The Today Show' to 'Good Morning, America' to 'iHeart Radio with Ryan Seacrest' to shows in Canada, Florida and Colorado to yesterday's request for an Economics study by George Mason University!
For history's sake, we will be compiling links to as many of these broadcasts as we can. And also, we will be preserving many of the fine statements from our alumni who have spoken out to help everyone understand the beauty of our unique tradition. We are truly grateful for those who have taken the time to help us get the correct story published to counter-act the negative slant many media outlets have chosen to portray.
Really makes you wonder about much of the 'news' we see and hear every day . . .
