Huge shoutout to the incredible generosity of our East Texas communities as more than 200 prom dresses were collected for youth in foster care. Each donated by individuals and organizations from Paris to Tyler.
We were proud to partner with The Salon Professional Academy (TSPA) of Whitehouse, where students and instructors provided complimentary hair and makeup services to help young women feel their best for prom night.
TSPA has made an ongoing commitment to sponsor 1–3 youth in foster care in each incoming freshman class and will offer monthly appointment days for girls in care.
The prom, hosted in Tyler, welcomed youth ages 16 and up whose legal county and placement fall within region 4. It was a joyful, confidence-boosting celebration made possible by the dedication of our Youth Achievement Team (YAS) and the many community members who stepped up to show our youth just how valued and supported they are.
This was a reminder that when community comes together, beautiful things happen.
