A NIGHT AMONG THE STARS

The joy and happiness exuded from everyone's faces at ‘A Night Among the Stars’ – a once in a lifetime prom event for adults with developmental disabilities.

The parents, self-advocates, and all the volunteers were heart warmed – an evening they may cherish forever.

A NIGHT AMONG THE STARS

was a fabulous red-carpet event. Held October 9, 2021 at the Douglas County Community Center. Completely volunteer led, and donation funded. The evening included a professional DJ, professional photographers, and was fully catered.

The Carson Valley Chamber of Commerce Leadership Douglas County Class of 2021 created this event for their group project. It was a greater success than anyone imagined. So, they've decided to continue the legacy. The next prom will be held September 17, 2022.
