On May 18, 2024, the Durfee Innovation Society, once a school and now a vibrant community hub, transformed into a glittering venue for Life Remodeled’s second annual ‘Prom Remodeled,’ a unique event celebrating Detroit families with an evening of elegance and unforgettable experiences.
The evening promised to be unforgettable, with live music, performances by legendary artists Treach of Naughty By Nature, Rob Base, and Tone Loc, and a surprise appearance from Flava Flav. And it did not disappoint! Glenda Lewis, news anchor for WXYZ-TV, was the host and kept the crowd’s energy high. The gymnasium was transformed entirely and decorated into a performance stage with a large LED-lit dance floor that attendees danced on all night.
As the attendees reveled in the festivities o, they indulged in an exquisite selection of heavy hors d’oeuvres from Baobab Fare, Fried Chicken, and Caviar, as well as delectable sweet treats from Dutch Girl Donuts, among others. Throughout the evening, expertly crafted cocktails were served by Detroit City Distillery along with MISS MIXOLOGY, and the night outdoor cigar session was complemented by Little Caesars Pizza before bidding farewell.
‘Prom Remodeled’ is an exclusive fundraising event in support of Life Remodeled’s neighborhood revitalization efforts in Detroit’s eastside. Attendees arrived in stunning tuxedos and elegant prom dresses, creating an atmosphere filled with excitement and anticipation. The event’s proceeds will contribute to the Anchor Detroit project, which aims to repurpose the former High School into a dynamic community center offering tailored programs to meet the needs of Detroit residents.
