Port Huron, MI — Local non-profit A Beautiful Me is a teenager. The organization that works to build confidence in women of all ages is turning 13.
To celebrate the milestone, A Beautiful Me is having a celebration on Saturday, April 24th between noon and 3:00 p.m. The free, family-friendly event will be held at their program center, The Closet by A Beautiful Me, located at 235 Huron Avenue in Downtown Port Huron.
A Beautiful Me started in 2008 in Romeo and eventually established its program center in Port Huron while continuing to provide programs in schools in the entire region as well as events like Bloom, Avante Garde Hair Show, and the Runaway Bride Fun Run.
A Beautiful Me has adapted to being unable to go into schools because of the pandemic and has given outreach opportunities to both students and volunteers through a letter-writing campaign.
The 13th birthday event will celebrate the over 10,000 girls and women who have participated in the program and look forward to a bright future. There will be activities both indoors and outdoors like balloon art, fresh popcorn, and treats, along with a raffle of a gift basket worth over $150.
