Since 2014, we have provided events for individuals with disabilities. We do this with one goal in mind: inclusion.

Our Mission

Project Inclusion is a nonprofit organization that provides full-scale, inclusive events, free-of-charge, in Southern Nevada for individuals with disabilities. Project Inclusion strives to include ALL abilities in social events that typically are not inclusive for everyone, like prom. Project Inclusion unites the community together by celebrating individuality & connecting everyone together!

We provide two full-scale events throughout the year: Promapalooza, a full-scale prom for teens with special needs, and Fall for All, a Halloween fall festival with live music, games, and art for individuals of all ages with disabilities.

Our Story

It all started when…

Lauren Abercrombie founded Promapalooza with the help of her mom, Lisa Abercrombie in 2014. Both women were inspired to make a prom for neurodiverse teens due to their involvement in the autism community since Mason, Lauren’s younger brother and Lisa’s son, was diagnosed with autism at the age of two. Both women put their love and passion towards Mason and the rest of the autism community, making sure that these children and young adults would have the same opportunities to participate in typical social events. Lauren wanted her younger brother to be able to experience a prom night, just like any typical teenager, in a judgment-free, comfortable environment, where he was able to be himself. 

Unfortunately, in March of 2015, Lisa passed away. After her passing, Lauren continued to pursue their small dream of Promapalooza to finally make it into a reality. Friends, family, and community members worked together to help create Promapalooza. Now seven years later, the annual prom lives in the honor of Lisa Abercrombie.
