Stony Brook Children's Hospital Prom 2019

Stony Brook Children’s Hospital rolled out the red carpet for teens to have a glamorous night of fun during its annual prom June 8. This year’s theme, “A Night in Paris,” transformed a Stony Brook University ballroom into the streets of France. Hospital staff and prom guests donned berets and boas for the evening, which included a catered buffet of chicken cordon bleu, crepes and chocolate fondue, among other selections. We want to provide kids an experience where they can spend time with people they’re familiar with from their time in the hospital, and to socialize with others that have been through similar situations. And, it gives them a chance to be recognized and feel special outside of the hospital setting. They can just be kids here.
