Big THANK YOU to our sponsors. Buffy prom would not be the same without the wonderful community we are surrounded by and we wouldn’t have been able to raise as much money as we did without you 🫶
Needed a few days to recover but happy to announce Buffy prom attendees helped us raise $1,480 for @hudsonpridecenter
Raffle winners were chosen tonight and will be contacted tomorrow! Huge shout out to all of our sponsors, big post for y’all coming tomorrow 💚

POV: you just stepped into a 90s vampire fever dream… and it’s prom night 🩸🖤✨
@buffyprom at @whiteeaglehalljc was everything — part rave, part nostalgia, part supernatural fantasy. Think slayer energy, dark romance, and a dance floor full of vampires, demons, and the hottest alt looks you’ve ever seen 🕯️
From the music to the outfits to the crowd… it felt like being inside an episode, but louder, sweatier, and way more unhinged (in the best way) 🖤
If you’ve ever wanted to live out your Buffy fantasy IRL… this is your sign to not miss the next one 👀
Save this for next year + send to your slayer squad 🩸

In 2013 I had this idea for a Buffy tattoo and got it done after a few drinks at brunch. Now YOU can also have this (temporary) tattoo! In honor of our 5th Buffy Prom we will be giving away these temporary tattoos to the first 100 people to donate to @hudsonpridecenter

Year FIVE called for something a little more…sacred 🕯️
For Buffy Prom’s 5th year, I leaned into gothic elegance—stained glass windows designed to feel like they’ve been standing long before Sunnydale (and will still be there after). I wanted to pull from the crypts and shadowed corners of The Hellmouth to create something that felt aged and atmospheric. Hidden in the glass? A little nod to 5, because this one mattered!
These 8ft windows were built from plywood frames, hand-shaped foam “stone,” and plexiglass layered with tissue to create that stained glass glow. A lot of trial and error, long nights, and figuring it out as I went in the SMALLEST SPACE EVER—but that’s part of the process.
Huge thank you to @carpenters_dream for partnering with me on this. Your patience and steady support made this possible in ways I can’t fully put into words.
Thank you to the theater queen @les_sirenes for encouraging me to keep going when I was ready to walk away. Thank you @jc3stud.io for always taking the call and helping me talk through every idea I had. BIG FRIENDSHIP made this project possible.
See you at @buffyprom this Saturday, April 4th!
