Join us for Our 2nd Annual Mom Prom in Fayetteville! Sept 21

Dance the Night Away to Raise Money for Sleep in Heavenly Peace Northwest Arkansas

By Kara Ault, Macaroni Kid Fayetteville Publisher Mom August 16, 2024

Mom Prom® was created in Canton, MI in 2006 and Macaroni KID Fayetteville is bringing it back to Northwest Arkansas again this year on Saturday, September 21st from 7-10 pm! We had a blast with 125 of you last September and raised over $3000 for Peace at Home.  Mom Prom is a ladies' night out for charity in which women wear their old prom gowns, bridesmaids dresses, wedding gowns, or formals and dance the night away for a worthy cause. It is a real prom with a DJ, and a game to crown the new queen (not based on popularity). For ALL women, not just moms! This is a wonderful, hilarious night in which women can dance the night away, have fun with friends, and help a charity. 

So look for that old gown in the back of your closet or go thrifting for one and get ready to dance, dance, dance while helping support Sleep in Heavenly Peace AR- Bentonville, a nonprofit with the mission of building bunk beds for kids who don't have a bed to sleep on.. Their mission slogan is "No Kid Sleeps on the Floor in our Town". Currently, the Northwest Arkansas chapter has a wait list of 662 kids in need of beds and they have delivered over 1500 beds to local kids in need.

Our new venue this year is Hilton Garden Inn and they will be offering discounted hotel rooms for any Mom Prom attendees who want to stay overnight in the hotel. (Link will be provided for booking)

This is the event you've been waiting for, full of kitschy fun and surprises! Wear whatever you want, but we REALLY hope some of you will embrace the spirit of the event and wear your old wedding dresses, bridesmaids gowns, or prom dresses! Got a hot pink wig? WEAR IT! Got a slinky cocktail dress that makes you feel like a million bucks? WORK IT! Maybe you have an amazing old prom dress with puffy sleeves and all that fine 80s style - by all means, break that thing out again! This night is about you and your tribe (that's all of us) laughing yourselves silly!

We're going to have a blast while raising money for local nonprofit Sleep in Heavenly Peace!
