The is an annual special event in the LGBT community! Hundreds of people will be dressing up and coming. It is a formal evening in which girls wear gowns or cocktail dresses. It will be a memorable and unique experience, especially going as a trans lady. Billed as your "second chance prom" for all of those who felt alienated or denied participating in their prom.



The event is from 7pm until 11pm. This year it is being held at the Renaissance Dupont Hotel Ballroom --- 1143 New Hampshire Avenue, NW at Dupont Circle.



There will be a buffet dinner, DJ and dancing, casino games, photos (minimal extra charge), drinks (cash bar), and a silent auction. There is an after-party at Phase I.



The cost is $70 per person. A portion of the proceeds support a non-profit each year and this year it is T.H.E. (Transgender Health Empowerment).



The event also includes the crowning of a Prom Queen and King. Our own Linda has been chosen as a member of the Prom Court and, thus, a finalist to be voted Prom Queen!



However, only those who attend the prom can actually vote. That means you!



You are all invited and welcome. You can come as a lady or a man. And bring your partner.
