A curious night awaits!
This year, we invite you to fall Down the Rabbit Hole…
and into a night where wonder, whimsy, and purpose collide. A place where time bends, expectations disappear, and second chances take center stage.
Hosted by Mending Spirits Animal Rescue, this unforgettable evening celebrates transformation in all its forms:
✨ animals finding healing and new homes
✨ community coming together to create second chances
✨ and you, stepping into a night that’s anything but ordinary
Because sometimes, the best stories begin with a second chance.

Prom Royalty
Raise Funds👑 Win Crowns 👑Save Lives
In this world, crowns aren’t given—they’re earned through heart.
Prom Royalty isn’t about popularity. It’s about passion, purpose, and showing up for animals who deserve a second chance.
Whether you join solo, as a duo, with a friend, partner, coworker—or even your pet—this is your chance to turn compassion into impact.
How It Works:
- Create your custom fundraising page (we’ll help you get started)
- Share your story—your “why”—and rally your community
- Every dollar raised = one vote
- Top fundraiser(s) will be crowned Prom Royalty live at the event
The Goal:
✨ Raise $100+ → Claim your Prom Royalty trophy
✨ Raise $500 → Unlock 2 complimentary prom tickets
✨ Raise $1,000+ → Compete for the crown at the end of the night
Why Join?
Because changing lives looks good on everyone. And being crowned for a cause? Far better than any high school memory.

Dress to Impress
This is your moment to go all in.
We encourage guests to shop secondhand, thrift, or support local resale boutiques for their prom look—giving fashion a second life while embracing creativity.
Think:
- Whimsical
- Bold
- Vintage glam
- Wonderland-inspired chaos (the good kind)
Structured elegance or playful madness—both belong here.
Best Dressed Awards:
✨ Best Dressed: Classic. Elevated. Head-turning style that owns the room.
🐇 Most Curious & Curious-er (Rabbit Hole Award): For the look that fully embraces the theme—creative, whimsical, and delightfully unexpected.
👑 Crowd Favorite: Chosen by the people—the outfit everyone can’t stop talking about.
No matter what you wear—bring your personality. This night isn’t about fitting in. It’s about standing out.
