2008 Rock N' Roll Prom

by midwestpagestop...

The Rock N' Roll Prom is the Midwest Pages to Prisoners Project's biggest fundraiser every year. Not only is it a fun and festive event that involves cover bands and wild fashion, it also helps provide the funding for postage to send free books to people in prisons and jails throughout the Midwest and to purchase the books that we send.

You can help us out by attending the prom, but also by helping to promote it.
