We aim to fully fund these senior activities through fundraising. However, if we don’t raise enough, we may need to request additional contributions from parents whose students want to participate. That’s why your involvement and support are so important.
Please note: All events are subject to available funding.

💡 What is Project Graduation?
Graduation night is a joyful and emotional time for students and families. However, it’s also a night when celebrations can turn dangerous if teens are unsupervised. Project Graduation provides a safe, alcohol- and drug-free celebration for our graduates in a secure location with food, entertainment, and friends—all night long.
🙌 How You Can Help
The success of these events depends on everyone’s participation—through volunteering, fundraising, and spreading the word.
