The Lake George Adult Prom and Mom Prom History:
​
Initially, the first two proms in 2014 & 2015 were planned by Gretchen and Christine, graduates of Lake George High School. They were assisted by our planner Mark, a classmate of theirs, who also donated the entertainment portion, along with other members of the American Disc Jockey Association, Adirondack Chapter (ADJA).
​
In 2016 the ladies turned the prom over to the ADJA chapter, a non-profit 501c3 in NYS, to continue the tradition. The ADJA has been running the prom since, up until 2023.
​
In December 2022, the ADJA chapter disbanded and changed the corporate name to Epic Helping Hands, still a 501c3 non-profit.
