Location: Parkway Plaza | 415 Fletcher Parkway, El Cajon 92020

Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM (This is a timed-entry event, and an individual reservation is required for each person entering the store).
Before You Book – Please Read!
To create a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for all guests, this event will operate differently from our traditional dress giveaways:
Each person must have their own reservation!
At our prom dress giveaways, teens may attend with 1 guest.
As this is a special event fundraiser, this does not apply. (Teens, parents, family members, and friends all require an individual reservation to enter).
All persons entering the store must have a waiver on file. For attendees under the age of 18, a parent/legal guardian must sign their minor's waiver.
Each reservation includes one hour of shopping. Entry is limited to your scheduled time to help maintain a smooth and comfortable experience for everyone. Walk-ins are not guaranteed, so please reserve your appointment in advance.
No lines may form outside the store/block walkways. Please plan to arrive no more than 10 minutes prior to your scheduled time for check-in.
For safety and space, strollers are not permitted inside the store.
