Get ready to dance the night away at CARD’s Seas the Night Inclusive Prom, a free and memorable evening designed for teens and young adults (ages 13-22 in high school or alternative diploma programs) with physical and intellectual differences. This special event will take place on Saturday, April 19th, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the CARD Community Center, 545 Vallombrosa Ave.

For many, prom is a significant coming-of-age milestone, but not all individuals have the opportunity to attend their school’s event due to accessibility challenges or sensory concerns. Seas the Night Inclusive Prom ensures that everyone has a space to dress up, dance, and experience the joy of this tradition in a fun, supportive, and inclusive environment. Attendees are encouraged to bring a date, friend, or family member to share in the celebration as they immerse themselves in an underwater-themed night filled with music, dancing, and entertainment. The event will feature a DJ, a silent disco option, a photo booth, a sensory and cool-down room, and a delicious taco bar!

“At CARD, we believe that everyone deserves a night to shine, celebrate, and make lasting memories,” said Talitha MacDonald, CARD Inclusion Coordinator. “Seas the Night is more than just a dance—it’s a space where every individual can feel welcome, comfortable, and valued. We are so excited to host this special event and can’t wait to see everyone having a blast!”

The Seas the Night Inclusive Prom is designed to create a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all, offering a fun-filled atmosphere where everyone can feel comfortable and celebrated. CARD is excited to provide this opportunity for the community and looks forward to an evening of laughter, dancing, and lasting memories.
