As the school year progresses, so does the excitement for the much-anticipated Dry Grad 2024 celebration! Please read on to learn ways you can contribute to help make this night truly special for our graduates.
WHAT IS DRY GRAD?
Dry Grad is a fun-filled, fully supervised event that provides our grads with a safe, drug and alcohol-free environment to continue their graduation celebration immediately following the formal dinner/dance.
Dry Grad is a 100% parent-sponsored event, and only made possible by the time ans involvement of parents to help organize and participate in fundraising initiatives to secure the financial resources needed for a successful celebration. Parents play a critical role to make this event a reality. We cannot host this event without your help and support.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
This year, your support is more critical than ever. Typically, Dry Grad planning and fundraising begins in October every year. However, this year we are off to a VERY late start as the Dry Grad Committee was formed just last week. As a result, we find ourselves with not enough time and not enough volunteers to raise the funds we need to host this event so our kids can have the celebration they deserve.
The cost to host the Dry Grad event is approx. $40,000 and is typically funded 50% through fundraising and 50% through ticket sales. While we will be seeking donations from corporate sponsors and hosting a couple of events to help raise the funds, simply put these efforts will not be enough.
So, we are reaching out to our supportive parent community with an urgent plea. We kindly request a contribution of $100 per family* to help cover the costs of the Dry Grad event. If you are unable to help us fundraise, your $100 contribution in lieu of your time will be greatly appreciated.
Here's how you can contribute:
· Send an e-Transfer to: seaquamdrygrad2024@gmail.com
· Add “Dry Grad Contribution” + Grad's name in comments
While your $100 contribution will help us get closer to our fundraising goal faster, we understand that each family has unique circumstances so any amount you can give is welcome.
Let’s come together as a community to make Dry Grad 2024 an amazing experience for our graduating class. Your support is invaluable, and we look forward to working together to create a night filled with laughter, fun, and lifelong memories.
Warm regards,
Seaquam Dry Grad 2024 Parent Committee
