Promalicious, the area’s first and largest Prom Expo for PA, NJ, and DE, is holding its inaugural event with an aim to enhance the prom experience for thousands of high-school students, while also working to allow a few others to simply have one.
The event will take place at the Ramada Philadelphia Airport in Essington from noon to 4p.m. on Sunday March 25.
Promalicious, a free Expo for students, will combine the hottest trends in music, fashion and entertainment for the upcoming prom season with multiple charitable causes and fundraising foundations.
For students all over the country, prom is a rite of passage. However, for the children of St. Christopher's Hospital, attending a school dance might not be an option this year.
Promalicious hopes to change that by granting the patients their wish for a night they can remember by allowing them to experience the same memorable event that their classmates will be enjoying. Proceeds from the Expo will be used to hold a sponsored prom for the children of St. Christopher’s Hospital, allowing them the chance to attend a dance they can call all their own.
While those in attendance search for their own perfect dress or tux during the two scheduled runway shows featuring a live DJ and food and drink, Fairy Godmother’s, Inc. is challenging high schools to donate used dresses, tuxes and suits that can be re-worn by less fortunate students at their own proms. The school that donates the most clothing, making the proms of others more memorable, will do the same for itself as a celebrity will make an appearance at the winning school’s prom.
High Schools should register their school for this challenge by emailing challenge@jessicascottllc.com
Promalicious founder, David Smith will represent and spread the ideals of The Melanoma International Foundation, asking attendees to sign a pledge to stay out of the tanning beds and the sun in favor of Airbrush (spray) tans, a process proven to be much safer for users.
Additional sponsors include David’s Bridal, Philadelphia Wax Museum, Unique Limousine Concepts, Venus Beauty Academy, and Blast DJ’s.
