Dear Friends and Neighbors, 

The Norwell Parent Coalition is thrilled to host the Norwell High School Class of 2025’s Grad Night celebration on Saturday, May 31, 2025, from 10:30 PM to 2:30 AM at Starland Sportsplex in Hanover. This annual tradition provides our graduates with a safe, fun, and inclusive environment to celebrate together one last time. We are seeking contributions to help offset the cost of hosting this event.

Since Grad Night is not school-sponsored, we rely entirely on the generosity of the community—parents, families, local businesses, and supporters like you. After graduation on May 31st, the students will no longer be under the school’s supervision, so the success of this event depends on fundraising efforts.

We're asking for donations to help cover the costs of the venue, arcade games, laser tag, bumper cars, food, and more. Less than a third of the total cost is covered by ticket sales, so additional funding from donors like you ensures every student can attend and enjoy the full experience without concern for cost.

How We Recognize Your Generosity

We are deeply grateful for the support of all our donors and want to highlight every contribution, no matter the size. Your generosity will be recognized both digitally and in print, showcasing your commitment to our students and the community. Below are suggested donation tiers and the corresponding recognition benefits. 

All donors *before April 11th* will receive:

• Recognition on the Norwell Social Facebook page and other related social media platforms.

• Listing in the May issue of Norwell Neighbors Magazine and social media acknowledgment via @South Shore Connections.

Additional recognition includes the benefits listed above, plus:

• $100 (Bronze): Name on banner at NHS Clipper Complex.

• $250 (Silver): Logo on banner at NHS Clipper Complex.

• $500 (Gold): Logo on banner at NHS Clipper Complex, and name on thank you sign in Norwell Center.

Why Grad Night? Graduation night is often associated with increased risks, such as underage drinking and impaired driving. That’s why safe, supervised events like Grad Night are essential. This event provides a secure environment for our graduates to celebrate together one last time before moving on to the next chapter of their lives.
