An adult prom was held on Saturday, April 8 at the Sullivan American Legion. The organizing committee was made up of Josh and April Dinger, Rob and Megan Martz, and Stephanie Helmuth. Everyone came dressed in their best for a night of dancing, fundraising, and fun. There was a catered formal dinner and danced the night away with music provided by a DJ.
There were nominations for king and queen with a court of 6 guys and 6 gals. The prom court raised over $2,000 for the event. This year’s king raising the most funds was Guy Harminson, and the queen raising the most funds Sarah Harminson. Guy and Sarah Harmison reside in Sullivan and became part of the Down Syndrome community with the birth of their daughter Indie Rose in August 2022.
The total amount raised was $4,594.37. All proceeds went to the Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network for Down Syndrome Awareness and Advocacy.
