Yelpers and Friends came out about 150 strong to support Hands On Bay Area and relive old memories (and make new ones). There was ambiance (even a real photographer and backdrop for prom-like pictures), raffles (a $500 gift certificate to Sports Basement!) yummy food & drinks and of course, dancing!
Some people pulled their old prom dresses from the 80's and some of us had new gowns. Either way, the best part of the night was request music, all night!
In addition to all the fun, we set up a table where people could get information on volunteering through HOBA. We had a few visitors to our table and some of them signed up to join our 10,000+ strong volunteer base.There was also a table set up as "Princess Project", which promotes self-confidence for low-income family high-school girls by providing free prom dresses and accessories . The dress giveaways are coming up in the next few weeks. I have volunteered at their dress give aways and believe me, the girls do leave happy!
Overall, Prom 2.0 was a success.
