All proceeds from the '80s- and '90s-themed event will go to Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
Now in its second year, the Mom Prom began with a seed of an idea planted by Erika Jurrens-Hutchison in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, when social pickings were slim and people only dreamed of a big night out.
“Erika hit the nail on the head: We knew we had groups of women who, when given the opportunity, wanted to make a difference,” said Dorsett, 35, of Upper Arlington. “All of our friends were in. To get all these people who want to make a difference together in one room, that’s what made it.” Last year’s prom raised $40,000, which grants about four wishes to children with critical illnesses. “This year, we hope to double that. We will double“Erika and I, being these competitive-minded people, want to make it bigger each year,” Dorsett added.
The success of the first prom convinced Jurrens-Hutchison and Dorsett to reprise the throwback theme for 2023.
