retroProm 2026 is Here — You’ve Still Got It!
Grab your tickets and dust off your jelly sandals for retroProm 2026, Athens’ premier party with a purpose!
This is not just another night out. It’s big energy. Great music. Unforgettable memories. A packed dance floor. And underneath the sequins and throwback hits? Something even bigger.
On May 1st, 2026, the Athens Cotton Press will transform into the ultimate retro celebration as we gather to dance, laugh, and raise critical funds for the Athens Community Council on Aging (ACCA). Because at ACCA, we believe aging isn’t about stepping back; it’s about stepping in.
Into community.
Into joy.
Onto the dance floor.
So consider this your official invitation to show up in your best retro look and prove what we already know:
You’ve still got it.
Every ticket purchased and every vote cast supports programs that help older neighbors age well, stay connected, and feel supported, including Meals on Wheels, transportation services, wellness programs, and opportunities for social connection that reach thousands each year.
Meet Our 2026 retroProm Court
No retroProm would be complete without an incredible Court!
Each year, standout community members are named to the retroProm Court and step into one of Athens’ most meaningful (and dare we say, fun!) fundraising roles. They rally their people, spread the word, and raise funds to fuel ACCA’s mission, all while gearing up for the most unforgettable night of the year.
Prom King and Queen will be crowned based on fundraising totals, and this year we’ll also recognize Mr. or Ms. Congeniality, honoring a Court member whose leadership, creativity, and community spirit truly shine.
Who will take home the crowns in 2026? That’s up to you.
ACCA’s 2026 Prom Court:
Troy Aubrey
Grace Bagwell Adams
Trevor Jones
Elaine Douglas
Clay Malcom
Julita Sanders
Jeff Snowden
Niki Warren
When you vote for your favorite Court member, you’re doing more than cheering them on. You’re also investing in programs that help our older neighbors thrive.
retroProm is about the experience. It’s about dressing up, dancing big, and reliving the magic. But it’s also about proving something powerful:
Joy doesn’t have an expiration date.
Community doesn’t have an age limit.
And when it comes to the dance floor?
You’ve still got it.
