In 1991, Founder Tyleen Caffrey entered the foster care system just a few shorts weeks before her junior prom. With no previous resources, no prom dress, and no financial means to provide for herself, she reluctantly asked her foster p
arents. She was fortunate enough to have a foster mother who was a seamstress and made her formal. Tyleen was given an unforgettable evening through the generosity of her foster parents. During graduate school, Tyleen was president of the Student Association of Social Workers (SASW). She initiated and led a prom dress project in which she collected over 500 dresses, $2500 in cash donations, and several donated services. Tyleen received special recognitions for this project including being recognized by the Hattiesburg American newspaper as one of 12 people who made a difference in the community, named Social Work Student of the Year by the University of Southern Mississippi and she received the Claire Nowlin Social Work Student of the Year given by the Mississippi Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers. Tyleen continues her project and continues supporting the communities she lives in and the neighboring communities ensuring everyone has a formal for an upcoming event. The success of this project depends on the support from the communities. Tyleen is very involved in the community and hopes the community will support Monarch Formals. DONATIONS:
