Community entrepreneurs tapped for star-studded affair at Family Nurturing Center's 4th "Prom for a Cause" Court Gala

The Family Nurturing Center (FNC) is gearing up for its 4th Annual Prom for a Purpose fundraiser, scheduled for May 16 from 7-11 p.m. at Turfway Park Racing and Gaming in Florence.

This year's event promises to be an exciting affair, with a special highlight being the Prom for a Purpose Celebrity Prom Court. The court features local business and government leaders, media personalities, and community advocates, all working together to raise funds for the prevention, education, and therapeutic services that FNC provides at no cost.

One of the participants in the Prom Court is Michael Betz, president and managing partner of The Proper Group. Another is Mikhayla Hughes-Shaw, co-host of WCPO-9's Cincy Lifestyle television show and former Miss Iowa 2018. Corrie Loeffler, executive director of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, is also participating to support the Family Nurturing Center.

Other members of the Prom Court include Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney, vice mayor of the City of Cincinnati, Alek Lucke, a Cincinnati real estate professional and community advocate, Sara Elyse, co-host of WEBN's The Kidd Chris Show, and Maureen Bickley, vice office partner-in-charge at Frost Brown Todd.

The Prom Court members are campaigning for votes (donations) and the top fundraisers will be crowned as Prom Royals during the event. Donations can be made to any member of Prom Court through the website givebutter.com.

Last year's Prom for a Purpose fundraiser enabled FNC to serve thousands of individuals, and this year's event aims to expand that impact even further. All proceeds from the event will benefit FNC's free programs and services, which reach over 10,000 individuals annually across Northern Kentucky and greater Cincinnati.

Jane Herms, president and CEO of Family Nurturing Center, emphasizes the impact of community leaders' support and fundraising efforts on the organization's ability to provide services. She notes that funds raised from Prom for a Purpose are crucial for the organization's continued operation.

Funds raised from Prom for a Purpose directly ensure that programs can continue reaching every family that needs help across the region. The event aims to support the organization's mission of cultivating safe children, thriving families, and nurturing communities.
