Sofi K Raises Money, Plans to Sing at Wish Upon a Teen Prom

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI – Sofi K, the 14-year-old pop singer from Bloomfield Hills High School who launched her debut album last fall, thinks every teen ought to have a high school prom.

So she’s raising money and has offered to sing at a prom sponsored by Wish Upon a Teen for kids whose serious illnesses mean they’re not able to attend their own proms and other milestone events.

The young virtuoso picked up the violin at age 4, joined the Livonia Youth Symphony two years later, and has taken voice and dance lessons throughout her young life. Her voice has towered in the choir at the First United Methodist Church in Birmingham, in theater productions at Bloomfield Hills Public Schools, with the Motor City Melodies youth singing troupe, in theater productions at Cranbrook Theatre and the Village Players in Birmingham, and the Traverse City Film Festival.

One of the ways Wish Upon a Teen does this with an event called “Evening of Dreams,” an annual gala prom event for teens who miss their own proms beause of illness or hospitalization.

Dresses and tuxedos are provided, and hair stylists and makeup artists re on hand to make the night special.

“Over the last couple years, these teens have really touched my heart,” Sofi K — Sophia Washer off-stage — wrote on a GoFundMe site raising money for the Wish Upon a Teen Prom.

A $1,200 goal was set, and about $1,000 had been raised by Tuesday night. You can give below if you’re so inclined.
