The event is 100% self-funded each year through LOTS of fundraising, ticket sales, and the generosity of our community in the form of cash, food, and merchandise donations, large and small.  We are thrilled to recognize our donors each year because this would truly not be possible without them.  The cost of the tickets sold to our students each year is a small fraction of the cost to put on this event.  And because we firmly believe that no student should miss this event, we also take donations specifically to cover the cost of tickets for students who request assistance. 

​

But we need your help!  We've been doing this for a few years now, and we can tell you that our students get the party that we work for and support. 

There are multiple ways you can help us make this event a success.

• Join the committee.  Our next meeting is Thursday, Nov 5th at Velocity Wings and we can always use enthusiastic members. 

• Support our fundraisers.  Yes, we have a lot of them.  Yes, we’re annoying promoting them all the time.  But we try to pick campaigns that are actually useful and you can be excited about supporting.  Every single dollar raised goes towards your student’s event.

• Donate, if you can: .Do you have a business that would like to donate?   Do you own a restaurant that can help us feed these hungry teenagers?  We love to give our business donors the recognition they deserve.  Would you like to contribute personally or Sponsor a Grad to cover the ticket cost for a student who might not otherwise be able to attend?  Donations of all types and sizes are what make this event possible.  As a subcommittee of the PTO, we are  a 501(c)3 organization so your donation may be tax deductible depending on your specific filing situation. 

• Encourage your student to buy the ticket when ticket sales open in January.  They will tell you no one else is going.  That will be incorrect.  Every year we welcome upwards to 300 graduates to our event.  They WILL have a good time, and odds are good they’ll go home with a pretty nice prize at the end of the night too. 

This year’s class is notably smaller than those previous classes since GHS opening.  This makes your support even more essential to us hosting a successful event. 

​

Sounds great.  So now what?

Stay tuned to all the great things we’re doing for your Senior.  If you haven’t already, join the Class of 2027 page on Facebook and follow us on Instragram.

Better yet, take a look at the pinned calendar post at the top of the Facebook page where we’ll have lots of the senior dates (not just grad party) and important links.  We're going to keep this updated throughout the year.  We're hoping this helps make it a little easier to keep track of everything going on.  And yes, we selfishly hope that it points you in the direction of some of our fundraising.
