May Impact Story 2024 #2: Spring Prom

Rising Above Ministries hosted its first ever Spring Prom at Life Church in Cookeville on April 26, 2024. This event, designed especially for individuals with special needs ages 14 and older, was an opportunity to honor the disability community and give them a night full of wonderful memories.

Spring Prom had over 150 attendees with special needs and over 200 volunteers who helped make it a wonderful night for our honored guests. Each guest entered the complimentary event on a red carpet with cheering fans on either side. Thanks to generous donors, this event also included a catered dinner, karaoke, prom favors, a dance floor, and of course, crowns and tiaras for the guests!

Additionally, parents were provided a respite room with games, dinner, and door prizes to help them relax and enjoy the evening.

We are so grateful to the many donors and volunteers, especially Life Church, for their generosity and willingness to go above and beyond to make it a great event!
