WOW Prom Popup Party
WOW’s Prom Pop-Up Party is a fun, safe, and welcoming event where Northern Colorado students can find everything they need for prom—completely FREE! From stylish gowns and suits to accessories, we provide an stress-free shopping experience so every student can feel confident on their special night. This event ensures that no one misses out due to the cost of attire and financial hardships.
With a live DJ, exciting giveaways like nail salon gift cards, facials, dinner for two and barber shop services, the event is designed to make prom preparation easy and enjoyable. A valid student ID is required for entry, ensuring a safe space for all attendees.
Pack-A-Pack with Glow Getters™ Tween
WOW’s Pack-a-Pack Program is a community-driven initiative where we partner with Glow Getters™ Tween to provide new backpacks and essential school supplies for students in need. Each backpack is thoughtfully filled and personalized by a fellow student, fostering a sense of connection and support.
This program not only ensures that students start the school year prepared, but also teaches young volunteers the importance of giving back. By packing backpacks for their peers, Glow Getters™ Tweens gain awareness of the challenges others face and learn that even small acts of kindness can make a big impact. Packed for a student, by a student.
Bootcamp for Backpacks with LiftUp Fitness
Bootcamp for Backpacks is a community-driven initiative by WOW and LiftUp Fitness, combining fitness with philanthropy. Held outdoors in June and July, these bootcamp sessions raise awareness about WOW’s mission, bring the community together in a fun, active setting, and collect school supplies for the Pack-a-Pack program, which provides backpacks for students in need. Participants get a great workout while making a meaningful impact on local youth, ensuring they start the school year prepared and supported.
