America wants to hear good news…
Celebrity Stylist, Spry Lee Scott and Radio Personality Déjà Vu to the Rescue!
Although the prom is not considered a “need”, it is in many cases, a defining moment in a young lady’s life. Prom is a celebration of academic achievement, the future and friendship, yet there are some young people who don’t have an opportunity to participate in this important rite of passage. Young women in foster care often don’t attend because of things that others may take for granted, like having that special gown that sets them apart from the rest. This contest gives America an opportunity to let our young people know that even in these trying economic times, they are not forgotten.
In an effort to support and encourage young women in foster care who are reaching the important milestones of finishing school and advancing their education, Déjà Vu (radio personality), Power 105.1 FM and New York City Children’s Services are collecting donated gowns* in the Sista Girlz Prom Dress Drive. On Saturday, May 9th, Celebrity Fashion Stylist, Spry Lee Scott** joins the team, where the dresses will be handed out to high school seniors. This day-long event will allow the young women to choose and try on dresses, while receiving fashion and beauty tips from industry professionals.
An opportunity of a lifetime will be given to all of the high school seniors in attendance. One deserving high school senior will win the opportunity to have her own personal stylist for two days. The lucky contest winner will win a shopping trip in New York City, where she will hang with Celebrity Fashion Stylist/Fashion Savant, Spry Lee Scott to pick out a new prom dress, and receive personal style tips. This is just the beginning! To help her get ready, Spry will personally show up on the day of the prom, armed with a team comprised of a Celebrity Hair Stylist and a Celebrity Makeup Artist. Spry & friends will offer a head-to-toe red carpet style makeover, and help this young lady look and feel her best!
To make her day even more special, the lucky winner will receive a celebrity style photo shoot, in the studio of a professional fashion photographer. After the shoot, she will be whisked away, in her very own private car service, which will take her to the venue, where she will dazzle her school classmates, faculty and friends!
* If you have a new or gently used formal gown (all sizes accepted, including plus sizes), please drop it off at the studios at 32 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10013 Tuesday - Friday between noon and 5pm. Deadline for drop-off is May 1.
