Story

It’s 1985.
The hair is huge, the shoulders are padded, and the punch… well, the less said about the punch, the better.
But tonight’s prom isn’t just gone wrong — it’s totally off the rails.
With their high school career coming to an end, the students of Mayhem High find themselves battling it out over grades, popularity, affection, class rankings and what they all have been focused on for years… Who will be awarded Prom King and Queen?
As the night unfolds, the royalty will be rewarded and an innocent life will be claimed. From the preppie to the punk rocker, the spaz to the stud, the jock to the jilted—all are suspected although only one is to blame.
Secrets are swirling. And somewhere between a busted boom box and a missing crown, a bigger truth is revealed:
✨ When things fall apart, someone has to step up and save the story. ✨
That’s where Safe Familiesfor Children comes in.
Just like a crack team of 80s detectives (with much better hair), we show up when the crisis hits — not with judgment, but with connection.

We rally a crew of volunteers who open their hearts and homes, solving problems before families fall into deeper crisis.
We offer refuge, not finger-pointing.
We offer support, not suspicion.
We offer belonging when life feels like a mystery no one else wants to solve.

Tonight’s prom may be a hot mess of mystery and mayhem, but our mission is crystal clear:
Keep kids safe. Keep families together.
So as you work the room, gathering clues and uncovering secrets, remember:
You’re not just playing detective tonight. You’re funding real-life heroes who show up when the lights flicker and the story gets messy.
Because every child deserves a family who stays, even when the soundtrack skips. Every parent deserves a second chance before the final credits roll.
You’re not just part of the mystery.

You’re part of the movement.
Let’s solve this prom night disaster — and build safer families, together.

All “Acting” roles are cast ahead of time. (If you’re interested in one of these, email heather@safe-families-for-children-wi-7e6e21.ingress-alpha.ewp.live.)

Someone in your life or church has taken the time to nominate you to attend this Safe Families volunteer mobilizing event because they see in you the core values of Safe Families: Radical Hospitality, Disruptive Generosity & Intentional Compassion.
We encourage you to prioritize attending this event along with select people from your church and 250 others in the Greater Milwaukee Area. Each nominee is strongly encouraged to simply attend the event with an open mind. The program will give you time to consider how you & your family might have a special role to play in keeping children safe, parents supported, and families together in your own community. There is a particular reason why you have been specially nominated to attend. We promise you will be inspired and motivated when you hear the testimonies of lives changed & of the unique and varied ways to serve through Safe Families. Imagine the ripple effects as your your one, small “yes” to attend this event might multiply—possibly impacting generations of families. It might be your “best yes” you’ve ever said.
