A Night to Shine truly lived up to its name.
Last Friday, our Young Adult students stepped into an evening they won’t soon forget — their Prom. It was a night filled with anticipation, celebration, and the kind of magic every student deserves to experience.
There were beautiful dresses, sharp ties, hair and makeup, proud smiles, and a dance floor that stayed busy from start to finish. But even more meaningful were the moments of confidence, joy, and connection that shone through in every photo.
Why Nights Like This Matter
For many of our students, events like Prom are far more than a party. They are opportunities to celebrate independence, friendship, and belonging — all within a space where they feel safe, supported, and truly themselves.
These experiences affirm what we believe at the Elaine Clark Center: that every young adult deserves to be celebrated, to feel included, and to enjoy moments that build memories and confidence.
The photos from the night say it better than we ever could — pure joy, laughter, and the shared excitement that comes from being part of a community that understands and uplifts one another.
Thank You to Our Village
To the staff, volunteers, and families who helped make this evening unforgettable: thank you. Your care and commitment made the night shine even brighter. Moments like these remind us why community is at the heart of everything we do at the Elaine Clark Center.
