The 2011 Renal Teen Prom is a gift to teens and young adults with kidney disease. It's an annual event and everything is free for the guests. The Renal Support Network provides formal dresses for the girls and ties for the boys. Drivers are arranged and kids are picked up all over So Cal. The celebrities who donated their time were Phillip Palmer, Michael Grasso and Jack Black. Elvis was also in the house.

I always enjoy volunteering for this event, and the kids all had a good time. Kitkatz donated dresses (thank you!) Wattle and her family were in town and helped decorate and work on the prom, which was great!
Here are some of my photos from the evening:
