Some kids don’t get to experience prom – they can’t afford the tickets or the wardrobe. FashUp raises funds to elevate their experience and boost their self-esteem.
How did we get involved? In 2018 Ignite met and interviewed Jameelah Love who aged out of foster care and led the Wisconsin Youth Advisory Council. We learned about how she sought to give teenagers in foster care the wonderful experience of going to prom. Jim Stingl with the Journal Sentinel wrote about Jameelah's own experience and what it meant to her. We wanted to roll up our sleeves and help out--so FashUp was born! FashUp is a teen fashion show that raises funds to help send teens to prom. FashUp has paid for over 300 students to go to prom since 2019. And in 2024 we raised more funds than ever! So stay tuned because we're going to lift that number way, way up!
Mark your calendars and Join us for our fifth annual FashUp Fashion Show & Soíree on April 5, 2025. We help Milwaukee youth attend their prom – and do it in high style!
