Primp My Prom Program Helps Girls Have the Best Night Ever
About four years ago, Lauren Damond came up with a gorgeous approach to do something meaningful for teenage girls in the Gulf Coast communities.
She was already a champion of animal advocate organizations, but she wanted to do more and she wanted it to be something that would make young girls feel beautiful. As the owner of Hair + Tonic Salon in Gulfport, she knew she had the space and skills to create a glamorizing experience for teens while easing the financial burden of prom night, but also knew getting a nonprofit organization off the ground would require a lot of help.
