We invite all children, teens and young adults with critical illnesses to join us at a Luminous Night Under the Stars, In Honor of Maya Grace Collins—a unique Prom experience dedicated to children, teens and young adults with critical illnesses facing a range of serious illnesses, many of whom may never have the opportunity, or have missed the chance to attend their own school Prom. This heartfelt event is hosted by The Live Like Maya Foundation and will be held on November 9, 2025, at the Matthew 25 Ministries Event Center in Blue Ash, Ohio.This Prom is not just an event; it’s a night where these young people can leave their daily battles behind and experience the joy of dressing up, dancing, and feeling celebrated. The evening has been thoughtfully designed with two sessions to welcome youth of all ages:
What the Prom Will Entail:
Two Sessions for Different Age Groups:
Early Prom (3-5 PM): Tailored for younger children, this session will feature a DJ, dance floor, mocktails, and visits from beloved superheroes, princesses, and local heroes like police officers and firefighters. Volunteers will provide hair and makeup services, and with donated attire, each child will feel like a Prom King or Queen. Light bites and snacks will also be available to make the night special.
Evening Prom (7-10 PM): A sophisticated celebration for teens and young adults, complete with a more elegant atmosphere, a VIP area for sponsors, and a parent respite space. The event will take place in a beautifully decorated venue, with a chapel area for photos, allowing families to capture lasting memories of this milestone.
Special Highlights:
Crowns and Sashes for Every Child: In the early session, each child will be crowned a Prom King or Queen, creating a memory they’ll cherish forever.

Memorial Table: To honor those who are no longer with us, we’ll have a special memorial table adorned with photos and keepsakes, offering a space for families to remember and reflect.
