About this program

PROM POSSIBLE was created because too many teens and adults with special needs are left out of traditional milestone celebrations. Southside Support believes every person deserves a night where they feel celebrated, included, and valued — a night designed specifically for them.

For many of our guests, PROM POSSIBLE is their first prom, their first limo ride, their first red‑carpet moment, or the first time they've ever been cheered for by name. We created this event to give our community a place to truly belong, surrounded by people who see their worth and celebrate their joy.

PROM POSSIBLE 2026 brought together 100 teens and adults with special needs and 100 volunteers serving as buddies, paparazzi, activity hosts, and support staff, hosted at Southside Church's Newnan campus.

Experiences included a red‑carpet entrance with emcee, cheering paparazzi, and professional photos; limo rides; crowns and tiaras for every guest; glow sticks, glasses, rings, and light‑up accessories; face and body glitter; carnival games with prizes; arts & crafts; a sensory & medical room; a service dog meet‑and‑greet; a concert‑lit stage for karaoke; and a dance floor with DJ. Dinner and desserts were provided by community partners.

PROM POSSIBLE is more than a dance — it's a celebration of dignity, joy, and belonging.
