WAUWATOSA (6/3/2011) - Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, the state's largest provider of pediatric health care services, will host "Masquerade in Milwaukee," its prom for teen patients, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 4.
"For many young people, prom is a defining, coming-of-age event," said Maggie Butterfield, director, Patient Amenities and Family Services. "In addition to providing our patients with exceptional care, we want to make sure we can provide them with the same experiences that other teens often take for granted. Hosting a prom is one small way we can add some normalcy to our patients' lives."
The prom is made possible through a generous donation from WHG Applebee's. It will feature a sit-down dinner, photography, dancing, giveaways and memories that will last for many years to come.
