Community Outreach Report - Project 150's Prom Closet Project a HUGE Success
Huge THANK YOU to all those who supported the Vegas Wedding Chamber's partnership with Project 150's Prom Closet earlier this year.
The Vegas Wedding Chamber had an extended partnership with Project 150, a local organization that provides support and services to homeless, displaced, and disadvantaged high school students so they can remain in school, graduate, and build bright futures.
Each year Project 150 hosts a "Prom Closet" in which local teens can select prom attire & accessories for their special night. This year the Vegas Wedding Chamber rallied together & collected donations through January & February to provide over $15,000 worth of new & gently used formal wear, shoes & accessories for Vegas teens to attend prom in style. The donations were delivered to Project 150 via a Sondra Falk Couture van driven by company co-owner & Vegas Wedding Chamber Vice President, Stephen Falk along with Community Outreach Director Charity Mills.
As event specialists the Vegas Wedding Chamber Community Outreach team knows that there are always special details that can be added to enhance any occasion. Members of the Vegas Wedding Chamber & other community friends provided vouchers for those special touches that were distributed to deserving teens on March 4, 2023 at the Prom Closet event. The vouchers were valid immediately all the way through prom season of late May-June 2023.
Local professionals such as Asia Zamora of Sweet Hair by Asia & Shaina Lopez, cosmetology instructor at Avalon School of Beauty dolled up a teen girl with beautiful hair & make up. Taheerah Taylor of Flower by Designs prepared fresh floral wrist corsages & matching boutonnieres. Sondra Falk of Sondra Falk Couture did a dress alteration that made a young lady look like a movie star. Alan Goya of Alan Goya Photography met up with a family in the Valley of Fire to capture stunning images of a young lady on her prom day that she will cherish forever. Menge Berhe of Kaptyn limos arranged for transportation for one exceptional student named Naomi who graduated this year with a 5.0 GPA & a resume that wows! She and 8 of her friends were picked up at her home and driven to prom in a stretched limousine. Naomi sent photos of her & her friends in the car & at the dance & thanked Community Outreach Director Charity Mills for arranging the limo for her and her friends and said “we’ll remember this night forever.”
The Vegas Wedding Chamber applauds Project 150 for their efforts in the community & helping young people have better opportunities in life. We wish success & happiness to the students & their families & look forward to seeing them again, celebrating other life milestones as their wedding & event planners.
