2019 Retro Prom

Recently Hideaway Beach was the setting for a Retro Prom Dinner Dance for residents which benefitted the Dementia Respite Program of Marco Island.

During the day, Hideaway hosted a tennis clinic, which was followed by a Retro Prom Dinner Dance with a raffle and silent auction.

In the evening, guests dressed to the nines and sipped champagne at the well-attended event. Dusty Rhodes and Jonlee Peterson were crowned Prom King and Queen.

The “Dream Day at Wrigley Field” raffle prize was generously donated by Judy Kenney and her son Crane Kenney. Live music by Joe Marino and All the Kings Men had the guests dancing the night away.

The Dementia Respite Program is facilitated on Marco Island by the Naples Senior Center at JFCS and was launched at St. Mark’s Church in November 2017. The program is for individuals with early to mid-stage dementia and provides socialization and wellness with a holistic approach to everyday challenges and living. The focus of the groups is on language skills, memory techniques, relaxation techniques, socialization and self-esteem. The four-hour program also provides peace of mind and a break for caregivers.

Last year’s Retro Prom successfully raised sufficient funds to add an extra day to Marco Island’s Dementia Respite Program. The goal of this year’s fundraiser is to add a third day to the program.
