Its almost ER Graduation Day!!!

Important info for the night of Project Graduation 🧑‍🎓 please pass on to your senior! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hello Future Graduates,

Congratulations on all that you have accomplished! We are so proud of you, and we are looking forward to celebrating with you! We thought it would be helpful to send a few reminders in anticipation of the night of Project Graduation:

You will check into the Lighthouse Building at 6:00 p.m. on May 31st. (Address: 404 Spruce Street, Elk Rapids)
If possible, we are encouraging parents to drop off/pick up (knowing that you will be staying up for the entire evening and will be VERY tired when driving home the next morning). The Project Graduation event will end at 6:30 a.m. on June 1st.
Please dress comfortably for an active evening. Please wear pants, tennis shoes, and socks. You will also need a thick sweatshirt or jacket for one of our stops, so dress in layers.
All personal items will be turned in at check-in time.
It probably goes without saying, but this is an alcohol, to***co, and vape-free evening. None will be tolerated, and parents will be contacted for pick-up if this is violated.
Dinner will be provided, and we will continue to feed you throughout the night! Come hungry!
All graduates will leave with a prize!!


See you on Sunday, May 31st

Can't attend meetings or donate time the night of the event?

How about signing up for a shift of returning pop cans? It's raised us nearly $9,000 and we only have a little bit of time left! Can you help? 🚮 ☺️
