When 14-year-old Avery Colvert saw an opportunity to help her community, she went for it.

In the wake of the devastation caused by the latest wildfires in the Los Angeles area, founded Colvert Altadena girlsA non -profit that provides resources and help to teenage girls affected by the disaster. The organization has received support from celebrities such as Meghan Markle, Demi Lovato and Paris Hilton and brands such as H&M and Fabletics.

Since so many teenagers lost their schools or homes and would not otherwise have had the opportunity for a care dance, Colvert organized a special night for 400 teenage girls – Altadena Girls Prom 2025.

Colvert tells people that the event gathered in just a couple of weeks. “I had the idea to do a dance because so many students would not get a dance this year after the fires and I wanted to make sure they have this great life experience,” she shares. “Everyone really jumped at the last minute to make it real, which was fantastic!”

Presented by Revolve, the dance took place on Saturday, May 24 and followed the theme “Glitter and Glam.”

“It’s about self -expression, being extreme and showing up as your full, amazing self!” Colvert tells people.

“Having brands that I love to offer to support our event has been so moving,” she says. “I am so grateful for all the support we have received to make this the most memorable experience for all the girls, and I can’t wait to see how amazing everyone looks.”

Colvert adds that the main goal for the event was “having fun.”

“It’s been a long couple of months since the fires and I’m happy to see everyone on the dance floor laugh, dance and just be teenagers again,” says Colvert. “I hope it is a moment of joy where we can celebrate how strong and beautiful our society is.”

Colvert credits his friends and family for their support with Altadena -girls – especially her mother, who she says has “been there every step of the road.”

She has already done so much, and the teenager says that in the future she wants to continue “doing work that helps people and builds society.”

“I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is that even when life feels super overwhelming, you are not Alone, “says Colvert.” The feeling of seeing neighbors helping neighbors, friends checking in to friends and people all over the world who supports Altadena inspired me to start our organization and give girls a space to shine and enjoy. ”

Colvert’s Look for Altadena Girls Prom was inspired Natalie Portman’s character from Star Wars, Padme Amidala. “I’m totally in love with Star Wars! “She says.” When I was younger, I admired the costumes in these movies, and I somehow wanted to live it up. ”

She continues, “I took all my inspiration from Pinterest and showed it to Karla Vallejo, who made my hair and makeup. Everything turned out how I imagined it, and I’m so happy to show off my appearance tonight!”
