Prom Styles, Student Models Shine in NCDAA Fundraiser

Local high school students took to the runway on April 6 in a glamorous Prom Fashion Show to benefit Northbrook Citizens for Drug and Alcohol Awareness (NCDAA). Over 30 students modeled formalwear provided by Caché and Men’s Wearhouse, with hairstyling and make-up donated by Red Door Salon. Glenbrook North Principal Dr. Paul Pryma entertained the audience as Master of Ceremonies. The event was held at the North Suburban YMCA, celebrating the second year of this special annual event.

NCDAA is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit community organization, dedicated to the prevention of alcohol, tobacco and other drug use by our youth. NCDAA's mission "Version 2.0" is to foster communication within families and the community. NCDAA works with leading community groups and experts to coordinate family and community prevention efforts, and sponsors a wide variety of speakers to educate youth, parents, and teachers about emotional and physical health. NCDAA is an independent agency partnering with the North Suburban YMCA's Family Life and Education Department.
