CityServe of the Tri-Valley, a local nonprofit organization that provides social services to residents in need, is hosting a new “Ladies Night Out – A Prom to Remember” fundraiser for women over the age of 21 next weekend in downtown Pleasanton.
The event will feature live entertainment and a night of fun, with proceeds from the ticket sales all going toward raising awareness and funds for vulnerable members of the Tri-Valley community, according to a press release from CityServe.
“Ladies Night Out is more than just a night of fun; it’s an opportunity to support our community’s most vulnerable residents,” Christine Beitsch-Bahmani, CEO of CityServe of the Tri-Valley, said in the press release. “Every ticket, donation and sponsorship directly helps individuals and families access the resources they need to succeed.”
While the event will be hosted by the CityServe organization, the “Ladies Night Out” event was originally created and continues to be sponsored by MomProm. According to its website, MomProm was created in 2006 as a way for women to raise money for charity through a fun night out.
“It is a ladies night out for charity in which women wear their old prom gowns, bridesmaids dresses, wedding gowns, or formals and dance the night away for a worthy cause,” according to the MomProm website. “This is a wonderful, hilarious night in which women can dance the night away, have fun with friends, and help a charity.”
In addition to a live DJ, the event — which is expecting up to 200 attendees, according to the nonprofit — will also feature a bar, photo booth, food and signature spirits and mocktails. Guests are encouraged to dress in prom gowns, bridesmaid or wedding dresses, and any other formal or fun outfit from any era that allows them to properly dance the night away.
There will also be a silent auction, tackiest dress award, queen’s court and other fun award opportunities.
“Ladies Night Out” is set for 7-10 p.m. next Saturday (April 18) at the Veterans Memorial Building in downtown Pleasanton. Tickets for the event start at $50 per person. For more information, visit www.cityservecares.org
