Though it may seem a little early to be thinking about Valentine’s Day, seeing as the turkey has yet to be been carved for Thanksgiving, the Island Montessori Family School Association is hosting a fundraiser next February that gives people a do-over for prom.

The Second Chance Prom will benefit Island Montessori School and Skywatch Bird Rescue. Tickets are on sale now through Dec. 23 for $75 a person and will increase to $85 a person by Jan. 1, 2023.

Tickets will include light hors d’oeuvre, open beer and wine bar, with spirited cocktails available for purchase. Guests are invited to wear their best prom garb for pictures by Matthew Craviotto Photography; digital photos will be provided free, though 4-by-6 photos will be available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting both nonprofits. A DJ will spin tunes for participants to dance the night away.

The event will take place Saturday, Feb. 18, 7 p.m., at Ironclad Brewery (115 N. 2nd St.), a renovated two-story building, constructed in 1925.

Island Montessori School is a private preschool and a public charter elementary (K-8) school — the only one in New Hanover that offers free public Montessori education.

Skywatch Bird Rescue focuses on rehabilitating injured wild birds in and around Wilmington and southeastern North Carolina. It also engages education, promotion, preservation and conservation of birds and their habitats.
