A Prom To Remember is truly unforgettable. It is a dance especially for teens who have been affected by cancer, which was held this year at the Ritz-Carlton in Cleveland. The event is organized by Jane and Michael Knausz, of Mentor's MK Photography. They -- with the help of some very generous sponsors and volunteers -- provide a memborable evening for more than 100 teens. Not only do they host a luxorious dance, they arranged for donations of prom dresses, tuxedo rentals, hair and makeup, limousine transportation, food and more.

Jane and Michael Knausz helped organize their first Prom To Remember -- a dance especially for teens who have been affected by cancer -- last year. More than 130 kids from all over Northeast Ohio donned their tuxedos and dresses, many of which were donated. Then, they danced and celebrated at a party hosted by the Ritz-Carlton at the Silver Point Grille. Many of the teens had missed their own homecomings, formals and even proms because of cancer, so the night meant a lot to them, Jane Knausz said. "There was one boy who got out of the hospital at 2 p.m. that day and he came to the prom," Jane Knausz said. The Knauszes first heard about A Prom To Remember from their daughter Kimberly Knausz, who had helped organize one of the dances in …
