Cnn.com: Michelle Obama is helping to give students a prom.

Obama's nonpartisan organization, When We All Vote, and MTV will host a virtual prom event for the class of 2020.

MTV's Prom-athon is also being held in partnership with the 2020 Prom Challenge which Obama publicized in February by sharing her own prom photo.t. "We loved him so very much!"

The event is scheduled to kick off on May 22 with an all-day, on-air takeover on MTV featuring prom-themed throwback movies and short-form original content highlighting the winning schools and students.

At 9 p.m. EST a virtual prom party will live stream on MTV YouTube and include surprise celebrity guest appearances and live performances from major artists.
