Make Prom Possible
So many Milwaukee teens would love to attend their high school prom, but the cost of tickets and attire is a huge barrier. A barrier that prevents them from experiencing this rite of passage that many of us may have taken for granted. Here are ways you can help...
Help send a teen to prom for $100
Any donation amount helps but consider being a fairy godmother/fairy godfather for $100 and sponsor a teen to go to prom. It provides access to donated attire, prom ticket assistance and a need-based gift certificate to cover other prom costs
Donate an auction item to FashUp!
If you're a business, restaurant, artists or have any goods or services that we can auction off, your FashUp auction donation will surely help send teens to prom!

In 2018 Ignite Change, a social cause advertising agency met and interviewed Jameelah Love after she aged out of foster care and led the Wisconsin Youth Advisory Council. We learned about how she sought to give teenagers in foster care the wonderful experience of going to prom. Jim Stingl with the Journal Sentinel wrote about Jameelah's own experience and what it meant to her. We wanted to roll up our sleeves and help out--so FashUp was born! FashUp is a teen fashion show that raises funds to help send teens to prom. FashUp has paid for over 700 students to go to prom since 2019. After the fashion show was sold out every year we started MakePromPossible.org so that people who couldn't go the the fashion show could still help send youth to prom.
