Winter Formal: Teens with Special Needs Dance

You're invited to our Winter Formal on Friday, December 13th from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM, as we step into a magical Winter Wonderland!

Get ready for music, milestone photos, laughter, and unforgettable memories!

Dressing up is completely optional—come as you are and ready to dance, connect, and enjoy the evening! The night begins with Red Carpet Drop-Offs from 5:30 to 6:00 PM, followed by a warm welcome from our Executive Director. Gluten-free appetizers will be served at 6:00 PM, and dancing will be happening all night long.

This special evening is designed for teens ages 14–19 who have a support need or special need, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you. To make the night more meaningful and fun, each teen is kindly asked to bring a plus one—whether that’s a close friend, sibling, or family member. There’s no age limit for plus ones; we just ask that they be someone special who makes you feel supported and comfortable.

To attend the Winter Formal, families must reserve two free tickets in advance—one for the teen and one for their plus one. Tickets are required to attend, and no walk-ins will be accepted in order to keep the event safe and organized. We kindly ask guardians to secure tickets by the end of November, unless they sell out earlier. When booking, you’ll need to provide the plus one’s full name, age, phone number, email, and relationship to the teen. Please note that both tickets must be reserved at the same time.

While we’re excited to welcome everyone to this magical evening, we unfortunately cannot provide transportation to or from the event, so families will need to plan ahead. Thank you for helping us make this a smooth and joyful experience for all!
