MEXICO, NY – On May 3, Oswego Industries hosted its second annual P.R.O.M. (Possibilities Remain Our Motivation) formal dance at CiTi BOCES in Mexico.
The night was a celebration of all that Oswego Industries and its sister agency, The Arc of Oswego County, provides to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
185 individuals attended the fun event at no cost to them or their families.
Individuals were given corsages and boutonnieres at the door, and then enjoyed a lively dinner and an energetic dance floor.
Professional photos and an informal photo booth were provided by Jeff St. Onge.
This confidence-building event brought individuals and their dates or friends together for an evening of glamour, dancing and celebration.
Many individuals we serve missed out on the opportunity to attend their own prom and it was our goal to make sure everyone had a wonderful night to remember.
