Hello ladies! Thank you for being here and your support!<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We wanted to start this note so we have 1 location to find all the information!! We will update as details come about and will answer questions as we can. This note will include sponsors, raffle items, costs of the event (raffle tickets,drinks, ect) and any fun surprises that come out along the way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Mom Prom is a catchy name but it is for women 21 and older! It is an event that shows the wonderful things women can do when working together-dancing,having fun and raising money for a great cause! All proceeds go directly to Nebraska Adaptive Sports, a 501c3 nonprofit providing adaptive opportunities for those with disabilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dress code-it is a Prom so have fun with a girls night out! Dress up, dress 80\u2019s, dress wedding, or rock that bridesmaid dress you paid $200 on. Be ready to move and groove as the night goes on!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The non profit we are fundraising for is the Nebraska Red Dawgs, the youth wheelchair team of Nebraska Adaptive Sports. This basketball team consists of youth ages 6 to 19 from Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska. They drive from across the state to have a chance to play a team sport that is competitive, since many of them do not have adaptive sports in their hometown. Many of these kids can not play sports as their friends, so instead of being on the sideline, they come to build a team and gain a family. All the youth have a lower limb disability that includes Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, or a youth injury. But they refuse to let that keep them from participating and being active.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So why them?<\/strong><\/em> The Red Dawgs are fundraiser and donation driven to keep the cost down for families that incur significant medical costs. Since wheelchair basketball is not common, they have to travel a lot to compete with other teams. Instead of families choosing between often the only sport available for their child and bills, this is to help the families not have to make the choice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
