STUDIO CITY, Calif., April 24 (UPI) -- Students in U.S. high schools will have a chance to feel "like a prince or princess" for prom, courtesy of actress Sharon Stone's "Class of Hope Prom 2007."

The inaugural prom event for adults, sponsored by Stone and her sister, Kelly Stone, in Studio City, Calif., raised $150,000 for Planet Hope prom fund, The Los Angeles Times said.

Donations raised by the Saturday benefit will cover fees and provide gowns and tuxedo rental money to underprivileged students across the country so they can attend their high school proms.

"We truly believe that every young student across the nation deserves a chance to feel like a prince or princess on their prom night, regardless of their financial situation," the sisters said in a statement. "We are thrilled to help this dream come true for high school students in need."

The charity collected more than 2,000 prom dresses and shoes from top designers, including Sue Wong, Nicole Miller, Alberto Ferreti, BCBG, Dior Beauty, Roberto Cavalli, Fendi and Jessica McClintock.

Celebrities who revisited their prom days included singer Fergie, Shari Belafonte, Tom Arnold, opera singer Carlos De Antonis. Sharon Stone wore a white top, ankle-length pink skirt and tiara.
