This fall, Rylee Lynch, 22, will break out her old prom dress and give it a second spin on the dance floor. That's because she and her sister Carlee Lynch were awarded a microgrant to hold a grandparents ball.

"It can be a grandparent or an honorary grandparent — just a senior in your life that you look up to. We're going to have a red carpet, hopefully some pictures," said Rylee Lynch. 

The pair are Broome's daughters. Rylee Lynch has worked as a educational assistant and a child and youth worker, while her older sister has worked with seniors.

They saw the grandparents ball as a way of bringing two generations and their two areas of expertise together, while helping address social isolation.
