Prom Plus held a scholarship distribution event on Thursday at the American Legion Hall. The event recognized scholarship recipients Ivan Tyler, the recipient of the Bob Fletcher Scholarship, and Lucian Kugler, who each received money for upcoming college expenses and certificates of acknowledgment from several dignitaries. Leif-Anzell Shomali was also recognized as being the recipient of the Brett Tyler Award from the Lions Club.

Also recognized were the veterans who arrive around 5 a.m. after the Prom Plus event to help clean up. Prom Plus has been held every year since 1994 (with the exception of the last two years due to COVID-19).

Members of Prom Plus Club, the youth arm of Prom Plus, were also acknowledged for their ongoing commitment to Prom Plus.

Prom Plus is held at the Crescenta-Cañada YMCA. It was started after a Crescenta Valley High School senior was killed at an unsupervised post-prom party. Since 1994, Prom Plus has offered a fun and safe place for CVHS seniors and their guests to go after prom. Previous activities at Prom Plus have included a full casino, mechanical bull, bungee run, zip line and more. There is no cost for prom attendees to go to Prom Plus; non-prom attendees pay a nominal fee.
