Overview

  • B Hayes, an 18-year-old student at Nashville Christian School, was banned from going to their prom because they wore a suit and not a dress.
  • Nashville business owner and local mom Marcie Allen Van Mol offered to put on a prom just for Hayes at her live music and event space, AB Hillsboro Village.
  • Local businesses have reached out to provide services for the event, including a photo booth and flowers.
  • R&B musician Tone Stith is set to put on a private performance as well.
  • A GoFundMe account was also created to help fund the evening, with any additional money donated going to Inclusion Tennessee and Oasis Center, two charities of Hayes' choosing.
