Dear Senior Parents-
As you may know, our seniors' all-night party is just around the corner, and we are excited to create a memorable experience for them all. However, we need your help to make it truly spectacular!
The Challenge: Our team has been hard at work reaching out to local businesses, seeking donations to cover the costs of Outer Limits, food, and prizes. While we’ve received generous contributions for our raffle, we are facing a shortfall in funds. Many businesses are currently unable to provide additional support due to their own financial constraints.
How You Can Make a Difference: We believe that together, we can overcome this challenge and ensure an unforgettable night for our seniors. Here’s how you can contribute:
If you are in a position to do so, consider making a monetary donation. Every dollar counts and will directly impact the success of our event. Please see the Venmo below if you can contribute.
Share our fundraising efforts with friends, family, and colleagues. Encourage them to support our cause.
If you have connections with local businesses, (or are a business owner yourself) please consider reaching out on our behalf. The business’s name will be printed in the graduation program.
- Venmo Handle.... @Janelle-Arvas
Thank you for your support!
