2. A local woman, April Baggott, came up with an idea to help girls find an easy way to find a beautiful prom dress without the hefty price tag. Through her church, Gracepointe Nazareen Church in Loganville, and after listening to her daughter and her friends talk through plans for getting their dresses for Grayson High School's prom, she decided that she could ease the burden of prom expenses for girls who needed help. Baggott is still collecting dresses, shoes, and accessories for her first Prom on Pointe event. To learn more about donating or picking out a dress, email prom@gracepointe.com. (FOX 5 Atlanta)
