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.
If you have questions or comments about this event feel free to reach out to us.

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.
No, anyone with additional needs (ages 14+) in the Dallas area is invited to Radiant Prom.
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.
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.
While there is no dinner provided, there will be light dessert and drinks available all evening (including gluten free and diary free options).
