New Westminster Secondary School Grade 12 students and the NWSS dry grad committee have started their annual donation campaign to help pay for dry grad, the alcohol- and drug-free after-grad party that’s happening in June.
This year’s theme is Viva Las Vegas and the parents are trying to raise enough money to bring in casino games, a live DJ, a hypnotist, photo booth, a mechanical bull, an inflated Wipe-Out game and “lots, and lots of food,” according to the committee.
The committee has set up a Gofundme page to collect donations. It’s trying to raise $4,000 for the event and every little bit helps. To donate, go to tinyurl.com/nwssdrygrad19.
The committee has also planned a pub night at Frankie G’s on Saturday, May 4. For more information, tickets or to donate a silent auction prize, email the committee at newwestdrygrad@gmail.com.
