The 7th Annual Best Buddies Prom at Vernon Hills High School (VCHS) drew over 135 students from all over the Lake County Area. VCHS Club members hosted “An Evening with the Stars” according to Karen Martin, school chapter sponsor. In addition to food, dancing and games they rolled out a red carpet and took pictures of the gala attendees.
Adding to the fun, this year Best Buy donated the use of an XBox and games for the students to use. Moreover, the Best Buy employee service group also helped conduct the event.
Best Buddies is a national organization that promotes friendship and inclusion between those with disabilities and those without. Clubs exist at the middle school, high school and college levels. There are several such clubs in the Lake County area according to Ms. Martin.
