The Leadership Dutchess Class of 2026 cordially invites you to The Best Class Ever - Prom Encore
Leadership Dutchess Prom Encore is a fun and spirited high school-inspired adult prom fundraiser, presented by the Class of 2026.
Guests are strongly encouraged to dress in their favorite prom attire. Vintage, modern, or anything in between, all prom-style looks are welcome. This is your night to make Prom Encore what you want it to be!
Every Leadership Dutchess class claims to be the Best Class Ever, and Prom Encore puts that friendly rivalry front and center. Alumni, community partners, and supporters come together for a one-night-only prom experience, with class pride woven throughout the evening.
Are you an LD alum? Every ticket purchase, raffle entry, donation, and sponsorship can be credited to a Leadership Dutchess alumni class. The officially crowned Best Class Ever will be announced on prom night.
Proceeds support Leadership Dutchess scholarships. Since 1989, the program has graduated more than 900 leaders and awarded approximately $655,000 in scholarships.
