CLARKSVILLE, TN − Buddy Ball Special Needs Athletic League hosted its Masquerade-themed Prom on June 20. Over 200 attended, dressed to impress. Guests enjoyed food, formal photos, and social time together. The highlight of every Buddy Ball event is the dance floor, DJ’d by long-time supporter of the organization, Lee Erwin of 5 Star Media Group.

The annual event was held this year at Hilldale UMC. Many of the ladies’ dresses were selected from a generous donation made by Robin Mang of Clarksville. And special thanks to Jimmy John’s for their support, as well.
