Miramonte High School and Bentley School will also be participating in 1 Closet clothing drives this month. Last year, the three schools collected more than 400 garments for the charity that gives these gently-used items to teens in need. Since starting the charitable organization in 2011, Graham has collected, boxed and distributed more than 15,500 garments for low-income teens in the East Bay.
