A program in Lebanon is helping some kids get to prom in high style.

The Lebanon High School Prom Closet program has always helped girls find dresses, just like other prom closet programs.  But this is the fifth year they've been collecting money to help the guys -- the cash will help them pay for tuxes.

The closet also gets donations that pay for toiletry bags, which include cologne or perfume.

They expect to raise another $3,000 by May 5 to help as many as possible.
