Hello, friends! I’m Kelsey Allore, and I’m delighted to invite you to an event that’s very special to me:
Second Chance Prom, a fundraiser for Mending Spirits Animal Rescue!

Growing up in Mankato, I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially cats. My childhood was filled with the joy of having furry companions, and they brought so much happiness into my life. Now, as a tattoo artist at Mecca Tattoo, I get to express my creativity every day, but my true passion lies in advocating for our four-legged friends. My husband and I are proud pet parents to three dogs and seven cats—most of whom we adopted. Each of them has a unique story that inspires me to do everything I can to help animals in need.
I’m genuinely excited to spend another prom with my husband, surrounded by all of you, while supporting a cause that means so much to us. Second Chance Prom is not just about the fun and dancing; it’s a wonderful opportunity for us to come together as a community and make a real difference in the lives of animals who deserve loving homes.
Adopting animals is incredibly important for so many reasons:
Saving Lives: Each adoption means one less animal in a shelter and one more life saved.Many of these animals face uncertain futures, and adoption gives them a second chance at happiness.
Reducing Overpopulation: By choosing to adopt, you’re helping to tackle the pet overpopulation crisis. Shelters are often overwhelmed, and your decision to adopt plays a vital role in reducing the number of animals that end up homeless.
Unconditional Love: There’s something truly special about the bond you form with an adopted animal. They often show immense gratitude for their new homes, providing love and companionship that is incredibly rewarding.
When you donate to Second Chance Prom, you’re not just joining us for a fun evening filled with laughter and dancing; you’re also supporting a noble cause. Your contributions will directly benefit Mending Spirits Animal Rescue, providing essential resources for foster families, including food, medical care, and supplies for animals in need. Every dollar you donate helps us rescue more animals and give them the second chance they deserve.
Let’s come together to celebrate kindness, compassion, and the joy of giving back. Join us for Second Chance Prom, and let’s create lasting memories while making a positive impact in our community!
Thank you for your support! Your generosity can truly change lives and help us give these animals the love and care they need.
