BeYOUtiful Ball
The BeYOUtiful Ball was launched in 2015 as the first-ever prom event in Northern New Mexico specifically designed for individuals with physical disabilities and cognitive delays. Our event is fully inclusive and tailored to meet the unique needs of all our special guests. This event is made possible entirely through generous donations, in-kind contributions, and the dedication of community volunteers.
Our organization provides everything from formal attire, including accessories and shoes, to spa and barber treatments like hair, nails, and makeup for our attendees. We also offer a full dinner, dancing, and unforgettable memories. Best of all, this event is offered at no cost to our guests and their caregivers!

This yearly initiative reflects our commitment to honoring and caring for those who have given so much throughout their lives. Our annual Senior Care Basket drive is dedicated to collecting essential care items for senior citizens in nursing homes. The mission of this drive is to ensure that our seniors have access to the basic hygiene and care products they need to live with dignity. Through the generosity of our supporters and the efforts of our volunteers, we are able to provide these much-needed items, bringing comfort and respect to the elderly members of our community.

This holiday season, we launched our first annual "Fostering Fun" Toy Drive in memory of Darlene McKnight, a beloved foster mother who gave love, comfort and care to children in need. We believe every child deserves to feel special and celebrated, especially during the holidays. Thanks to all of our generous donors we were able to branch out and bless the foster children in Rio Rancho as well! Thank you to every single individual that donated, wrapped and poured so much love into the successful first annual Darlene McKnight ‘Fostering Fun’ toy drive!
