This event was nothing short of electric, thanks to the incredible dedication of our Sioux Falls Best Buddies Advisors.<\/p>\n

These amazing advisors, juggling busy schedules and life’s demands, poured their hearts into creating an unforgettable evening for our members. Their commitment to inclusivity and friendship is truly inspiring!<\/p>\n

The prom brought together students from Best Buddies chapters at Roosevelt, Lincoln, Jefferson, Washington, and beyond, creating a diverse and joyful celebration. The excitement was at a high as our students in their best-dressed entered the venue, ready to dance the night away with their friends.<\/p>\n

\"Sioux<\/p>\n

The evening began with a heartwarming Grand March, where each student was announced and walked the red carpet, allowing families and friends to capture the moment with a precious picture!<\/p>\n

Throughout the night, attendees enjoyed delicious refreshments, engaging games, and, most importantly, the wonderful company of their buddies. The room buzzed with laughter and genuine connection.<\/p>\n

A huge shoutout to the Roosevelt High School A\/V Club for providing the perfect playlist that kept everyone dancing all night long! Their music created the perfect atmosphere for an evening of unforgettable fun and friendship.<\/p>\n

The Sioux Falls Best Buddies Prom was a testament to the power of inclusion and the importance of creating spaces where everyone belongs. We are incredibly grateful to our advisors, volunteers, and all the students who made this magical night possible![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
