Come Together for 9-Year-Old Hadley at “Hadley’s Fall Flamingo Ball”
This Saturday, our community can help make a night unforgettable. Come together for Hadley's Fall Flamingo Ball, a prom-style event for a very special little girl.
Hadley is 9 years old and living with Alström Syndrome, an extremely rare genetic condition that affects multiple organs throughout the body. For Hadley, one of the most serious complications has been her heart.
Her heart condition has continued to worsen, and she is currently facing incredibly serious health challenges. Hadley has been receiving specialized care in St. Louis as her medical team works to stabilize her numbers and prepare her for an LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device), a device that helps the heart pump blood.
Despite hospital stays, medications, procedures, and everything this little girl has endured, Hadley has been looking forward to one thing for months.
Hadley’s Fall Flamingo Ball.

Come together on Saturday, September 12, from 4:00 PM – 10:00 PM at the Rust Belt in East Moline for the Fall Flamingo Ball. The night is open to EVERYONE! Bring the kids, bring your family, and bring your friends.
Tickets are only $10 for adults, and kids 12 & under are FREE.
Your ticket includes free food, music, dancing, and fun! There will also be raffle baskets, a 50/50 drawing, Prom Royalty, a red carpet, photos, and plenty of surprises throughout the evening.
Dress up and make it a true “prom” night with your kids, or come completely casual. There is no dress code. The only thing that matters is showing up and helping surround Hadley and her family with love.
For a 9-year-old who has spent far too much of her childhood dealing with hospitals and heart failure, this isn’t just another fundraiser. It’s her night.
Fill the Rust Belt with laughter, dancing, and flamingos, and show Hadley just how many people are standing beside her.
