On Sunday, May 16, 2010, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Foster City, the Bay Area will unite to host its first Joy Prom.
This community-sponsored event is a full-scale, first-class prom for
people with special needs. Through volunteerism, donations and
corporate sponsorships, these often-overlooked individuals will have a
night to SHINE.150 Special-Needs Guests (ages 16 through senior citizens) will enjoy a free prom and be treated like kings and queens. At Joy Prom, each guest:
* Is paired with an escort for the duration of the evening (a trained volunteer)
* Gets their make-up and hair done (ladies); or their shoes shined (gentlemen)
* Is given a corsage or boutonnière
* Receives a royal welcome and is formally introduced to the crowd
* Proceeds down the red carpet walk of fame, surrounded by paparazzi
* Is asked to sign autographs and pose for pictures
* Has formal prom portraits taken against a spectacular backdrop
* Enjoys a tasty meal at a banquet table
* Dances the night away to a live band
* Leaves with a gift bag, photos and memories that will last a lifetime
