5th Annual
Arabian Nights Prom

This annual prom is free to all special needs residents 16 years and older in Manatee and Sarasota counties.

Everything for the prom is donated by companies and members of the surrounding communities - from the red carpet at the entryway to the beautiful formal wear, jewelry, decorations, gourmet food, table service, music and photos. We also have some people who donate their time and talent by doing hair and makeup for our guests!

Family Network on Disabilities will be sponsoring this year's photo booth. FND's Young Adults Group will be baking cupcakes for the event with ingredients donated by Publix.

Every detail of the prom is provided by the generosity of people in the community through tax-deductible donations of time, money, goods, and services! Each year the event grows and all who participate are touched by the experience!

For more information about business sponsorship or how you can help please contact Mary Anne at NWTSprom@gmail.com.

For more information, contact Mary Anne McDevitt at 941-742-3972.
