The next Promapalooza will take place in early March

Girls in DFCS custody from all over Georgia come to select free elegant dresses donated by you enabling them to attend their high school proms in style. There are giggles and smiles, oohs and ahhs all afternoon while they select the dress of their dreams, jewelry, shoes, shawls, purses and a lesson in hair make up. The girls are absolutely radiant when they try on the gowns and find one to suit them. Foster Care Support Foundation thanks all who make it possible for these girls to enjoy this event. Special thanks to Tolbert Yilmaz School of Dance/ Alpharetta Street, Roswell and Crown Cleaners/Johnson Ferry Rd, Marietta, for their help and efforts in making this event successful.
