The Story Collider's Third Annual Proton Prom

The Story Collider celebrated its third annual Proton Prom last week on May 2nd at The Bell House in Brooklyn, New York. The annual fundraiser was a great success and because of your support, we have raised over $17,000. This funding will help to support all of our Story Collider programming. We are so grateful for everyone’s support and to everyone who attended in-person as well as those who tuned in online. You all made it a night to remember.

Below is a selection of photos from the night’s festivities.
