“For many young adults, prom night is a rite of passage. Yet many in the special needs community and their families never experience that joy and excitement,” said Beverly Shaffer, President and Founder of Our Dream Pursuits, Inc. “We are thrilled to host our first Prom, but we need the help of our local community to support us in making our Enchanted Gardens Prom night our biggest social event since our inception over eight years ago.”
“Just being able to say I’ve been to a prom will be great,” said Richard Shutter, a 7-year Our Dream Pursuits participant. “I’m making a difference by helping with the events and it makes me feel important.”
