Our Academy Awards Prom by Andrea Fogel

Pride for Youth’s Academy Award themed Prom was nothing less than magical. As early as 7:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time movie stars, singers, paparazzi and even Joan Rivers began to arrive on the red carpet. The night was filled with nothing but elegance including Pizza from a Five Star restaurant, “Joes Pizzeria” in Merrick and a sheet cake from the very prestigious BJ’s wholesale Club. The biggest hit of the night was the chocolate fountain that marshmallows, pretzels, fruits and graham crackers were dipped into creating long lasting chocolate covered smiles. The Rich, Famous and Beautiful enjoyed a night of dancing under the stars and no one left empty handed, all receiving their very own academy award. August 27th, 2010 will sure be a night to remember. -Andrea Fogel, LMSW LGBT Program Supervisor
