Click your heels and follow the yellow brick road because we’re headed somewhere over the rainbow for an evening of music, dancing, laughter, and Emerald City magic. 🌈

DSI Prom 2026 invites individuals with disabilities from Bartholomew and surrounding counties to join us for a free, inclusive celebration at The Commons on August 15 from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. This is a night designed for joy, connection, and belonging, where every person is welcome and every moment is meant to be shared. 🫶

The evening will feature dinner, dancing, and a full lineup of magical moments including a live performance of Somewhere Over the Rainbow by the DSI Dynamics Choir, DJ services by Andrew Moore, and photography by Isabel Davis. 📸🎶

We are deeply grateful for the support of our 2026 sponsors, TCC, Verizon and Columbus Regional Health. Their generosity is what helps make this event possible. 🙌

If you’d like to be part of the magic, there are several ways to get involved! 🪄

We’re looking for sponsors to help support the event, along with volunteers and community partners who want to make the night truly special. Opportunities include donating formalwear, providing hair and makeup services, contributing items for swag bags, assisting with setup and hospitality, or even stepping into character to add a little Oz inspired wonder to the celebration. ✨

If you’re interested, please contact Ellie Moore at [email protected] 🤝
