Empowering displaced teen girls across Georgia with confidence, self-expression, and the opportunity to feel beautiful, valued, and celebrated

Prom-a-Palooza is a special event hosted by the Foster Care Support Foundation, designed to help displaced Junior and Senior high school girls feel confident and celebrated as they prepare for their prom or military ball. This unique program provides prom dresses, accessories, and makeup—all free of charge—so that these young women can experience their special night without financial stress.

In the past, Prom-a-Palooza was a large, single-day event that provided prom dresses and accessories to hundreds of displaced teen girls across Georgia. This year, Foster Care Support Foundation has restructured the program to offer a more personalized shopping experience.

Rather than a single-day event, we have dedicated a section of our distribution center specifically for prom items while continuing our regular clothing distribution program. This new format allows Junior and Senior high school girls to shop for their prom essentials by appointment in a more intimate and comfortable setting.

Our goal remains the same—to ensure that every eligible displaced teen girl has access to beautiful prom attire, allowing them to attend prom with their friends and classmates, regardless of cost.
