More than 100 teenagers with end-stage kidney disease received the rock star treatment Saturday, during their prom night at the House of Dereon Media Center in downtown. The evening started with the girls prepping for the party by getting their hair, makeup and nails done by 34 student volunteers from San Jacinto College's cosmetology program. Even food is special Because of the strict dietary guidelines for those on dialysis, the food served was specifically prepared by Rice Epicurean Markets so that all participants could eat popcorn, hamburgers and treats from a candy bar. Charlie Evanicky, 15, who received a kidney transplant in 2005 and also has diabetes, came from Brenham to unwind and spend the evening as a typical teen.
