Prom attire and services needed

This came across our desk and we had to spread the word! Prom is such a fun time to experience! Let’s contribute to positive memories with Devereux Colorado!

Designers, stylists, makeup artists!!! Can you help?

Devereux Colorado is hosting it’s first Prom Night for high school age clients. 

PromWe are a national non-profit organization in existence for over 100 years serving as a preferred mental health provider with centers around the United States. Here at Devereux Colorado at the Cleo Wallace Center our 50 years of service is committed to our Colorado children as well as students from around the country who reside at our center to receive mental health services and an education.

This year in working with the Flobots organization and Youth on Record Program our collaboration   compelled us to provide and host an experience in the Prom tradition. This event planned for Friday, June 27 at the Devereux Colorado site and  is an exciting and positive opportunity for our clients.

Our students have never had this experience or opportunities in life that are considered common milestones growing up. Making this experience a reality is exciting.

We have school year round and since our term has ended with … Read more!

No Fear Here

scoop (1)

Last week at Fashion Denver we had the pleasure of speaking with Brian Scoop Nemeth, a local designer that could be summed up by two words: inspiring and courageous.

Brian is a young man who, in spite of having Aspergers/Autism, is giving it his all when it comes to becoming a designer. He has researched his market, sketched out several design and has utilized a seamstress to create his first sample, all of which has led up to a little number called the ONEderkini (wonder kini).

The ONEderkini is a bathing suit that combines comfort and support with a touch of skin showing. Like the ONEderkini, Brian is inspirational and original. He is a great example for all who are aspiring to do something great; each one of us has individual obstacles but it is important to give it 100% when trying to do what you and love what you do. Keep an eye out for Brian’s indiegogo campaign link, a campaign which will allow you to donate to help Brian keep going!… Read more!
