SOBER GRAD NIGHT

Attention Parents!!

We are excited to organize an all-night celebration party after graduation. Each year thousands of graduating seniors around the country attend Sober Grad Nite. This event offers a fun, safe, alcohol & drug "free" place to celebrate their high school graduation with their friends. Please support our student community and help get the word out "You don't have to drink or do drugs to have a good time!"

Grad Night is a parent sponsored event. It takes a great deal of work and a lot of volunteers to make this event a success. We need all the help we can get. Committees need to be formed early, even though event is in June.  Many months of preparation are involved to make this a successful event. Parents from ALL grades are encouraged to participate in Sober Grad Night activities from attending meetings, being involved with fundraising, and helping out on that night.

We are currently looking for committee members to be in charge of Grad Night 2025

If you are willing to help please email: buckinghamseniors@gmail.com and to be added to our mailing list.  

Please see Committee Positions tab for list of Committees we need help with.

ALCOHOL STATISTICS

We want to make you aware of some unfortunate statistics on underage drinking obtained from Mothers Against Drunk Drivers Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse (NIAAA) and theNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):

Annually, about 5,000 youth under age 21 die from motor vehicle crashes, other unintentional injuries, and homicides and suicides that involve underage drinking.

In 2007, the rate of alcohol impairment among drivers involved in fatal crashes was four times higher at night than during the day (36% versus 9%).

Nationally in 2006, 25 percent of the young drivers ages 15-20 who were killed in crashes had Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels of .08 or higher at the time of the crash.

Underage alcohol use is more likely to kill young people than all illegal drugs combined.

 Since Sober Graduation's establishment in 1985, the number of teen alcohol-related collisions has dramatically declined.
