High School Glam Suite, a non-profit dedicated to providing high school seniors the ultimate prom experience at no cost to them, will offer Glam Suite Graduation Boxes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Metro Detroit students experiencing adversity are invited to apply to receive a customized box this summer. The deadline to apply is May 17. High School Glam Suite is being sponsored by Project Beautiful-Inside and Out for the third consecutive year.
“When our board discussed this year’s school cancellation, we decided that despite not having a prom these students still deserve to feel special,” said Kori C. Fields, founder of High School Glam Suite. “We know the Glam Suite Graduation Boxes cannot take the place of prom, but we want to make sure we create something memorable for our seniors.”
The goal is to customize each box to fit each student’s post-high school needs. For example, someone going to college may receive supplies for class or dorm must-haves, such as bedding or decor. A student headed to cosmetology school may receive an apron, shears, train case, and beauty magazine subscription.
Since 2016, High School Glam Suite has hosted workshop series that focuses on self-esteem, health and fitness, and community service. The series ends with the ultimate prom makeover experience. They have assisted more than 20 students with head-to-toe prom preparation. Students experience a full day with professionals who have provided custom dresses, luxurious hair extensions, accessories, shoes, hair, makeup, nail services, spa treatments, photography, and catering. Students selected for programming often have experienced some type of adversity, including homelessness, a house fire, and the loss of a parent.
The application to apply for the 2020 High School Glam Suite program is available here. Box distribution will begin in July.
