Additional Care

Radiant Prom

The first annual Radiant Prom is an extraordinary prom night dedicated to celebrating God’s love for individuals with additional and special needs, ages 14 and above in the Dallas Area.

Participant Info: Each honored guest (AKA participant) receives a red-carpet welcome and an evening of royal treatment. Festivities include hair styling, shoe shining, corsages/boutonnieres, karaoke, snacks, and of course, dancing. The night’s most special moment is when every honored guest is crowned a king or queen of the prom.

Parent/Caregiver Info: Parents and caregivers have the opportunity to stay and enjoy a quiet, nearby respite room with light refreshments to mingle and relax.

Registration is required for both you (parent/caregiver) and your honored guest (participant), and each registration must be completed separately.

Volunteer Info: Volunteer registration is now closed.

Kids Ministry is not provided for this event.

FAQ

What should I wear?

Guests are welcome to wear whatever makes them feel confident and comfortable! Many choose formal or semi-formal attire, but there’s no required dress code. Whether that’s a suit, a dress, or something comfy and easy to move in, the choice is yours.

Do I need to attend Watermark to come to Radiant Prom?

No, anyone with additional needs (ages 14+) in the Dallas area is invited to Radiant Prom.

Why do I need to register as the parent/caregiver?

Even if you aren’t planning on staying and enjoying our respite room, we still ask that you register as the parent/caregiver as everyone on our campus is required to have a name tag when dropping off and picking up. This allows us to know who you are and keep those in our care safe.

If you are attending a Watermark event for the first time, you will need to create an account prior to registration. Setting up your account and completing registration should only take a few minutes.

Do I need to bring anything?

Just bring your smile and your dancing feet! There will be a place to check your personal items (coats, bags, etc.) and pick them up at the end of the night.

Will dinner be provided?

While there is no dinner provided, there will be light dessert and drinks available all evening (including gluten free and diary free options).

Is there a cost to register?

Radiant Prom is a free event!

Will my participant have a buddy?

Yes! Every honored guest is paired with their very own buddy for the entire evening. Buddies are carefully selected and trained volunteers.

Does every participant need a parent/caregiver on site?

Parents/caregivers are not required to stay on site. However, we will have a quiet, nearby respite room for you to mingle and relax while your participant dances the night away. Light dessert will be provided.

What if my participant needs medical assistance?

There will be a medical station available on-site.

Can I serve at this event?

Yes, we have several serving opportunities available (ages 15 and above). By volunteering with the Welcome Team, Hospitality Team, Glam Team, or serving as a buddy for someone with additional needs, you can be a part of the fun and celebration of Radiant Prom! If interested, please register for this event and choose “Volunteer” from the drop-down menu.
