About the Founder

Realizing that there were no organizations to help students in her community attend prom, Noel D’Allacco, a native of Yonkers, New York, founded Operation PROM. Now, more than 19 years later, Noel has established the Operation Prom National Network, Inc. A resource for students, parents, and schools to find organizations and community groups that can provide free formal wear to teens in need.

As a leader in her community, Noel has been named one of Westchester County’s (NY) top 40 business leaders under 40, and has received many awards for her community service. She has been featured on national news outlets such as ABC, CNN, Fox, and NBC. In addition to her role at the Operation Prom National Network, she works with other local non-profits including the Women’s Enterprise Development Center. She has been an Assistant Professor for the School of Business at the College of Westchester for the past 16 years.
