The Sandbox’s 4th annual An Evening of Believing℠ Prom will take place on Friday, September 19th 2014 at Founder’s Hall in Uptown Charlotte. The attendees at the An Evening of Believing℠ Prom are young adults who are battling cancer and other life threatening illnesses. It’s a night for them to celebrate the exciting adolescent milestone of prom, and make memories together that no sickness can take away.
To create an amazing night for these deserving kids, it takes a community of support. Volunteers from across Charlotte and beyond come together to create a one of a kind red-carpet style experience. Our honorees and their guests are transformed by our “Glam Squad” at the Paul Mitchell school, complete with hair updos, make-up by Mary Kay and nail painting. Prom dresses are donated by the community, tuxedo rentals are discounted by Men’s Warehouse. A local Charlotte business, Tie-My-Knot has made and donated 200 handsome bow ties to the honorees for the prom, in addition to selling bow ties to the community through their website and donating a portion of the proceeds to the Sandbox.
The Sandbox needs your help. They are looking for volunteers for the following things:
