Rewind the cassette tape and break out your 80s blue tuxedo or hot pink prom gown. Radiant Futures, a champion for survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking, is totally taking it back for an unforgettable 80s-themed formal prom-inspired evening to remember.
The Back to the Radiant Futures Ball takes place Saturday, April 25, 2026, at The Pacific Club in Newport Beach. Doors open at 6 p.m. for an evening of nostalgia, community, and mission, complete with an 80s formal prom theme, dinner, live and silent auctions, and a dance floor ready for the freshest moves in Orange County. No flux capacitor required.
Founded in 1976 as one of the first domestic violence shelters in the nation, Radiant Futures has spent nearly 50 years walking alongside survivors. Each year, more than 1,800 individuals access life-changing services through emergency shelter, transitional housing, legal advocacy, and clinical support. Another 2,500 people are reached through community outreach and prevention education.
“This celebration will be more than retro fun,” said Radiant Futures Chief Executive Officer Mark Lee. “It’s our opportunity to come together and shape what comes next for individuals and families across Orange County. From our founders’ courageous first step to every life we touch today, this organization has always moved forward because of people who believe that a safer, more compassionate community is worth building.”
Every dollar given helps Radiant Futures build a safer community by working to prevent domestic violence and trafficking. Last year’s event raised more than $135,000.
