Organizers of New Westminster Secondary School’s annual dry grad celebration are trying something a little different when it comes to fundraising this year.
Dry grad is a supervised, parent-sponsored, drug- and alcohol-free event for graduates. It takes place after the cap and gown ceremony in the spring at the Queensborough Community Centre and features food, prizes and activities, including a mechanical bull, hypnotist, photo booth, tattoo artist, food truck and more.
Dry grad is completely organized by parents and this year, they’re looking to raise $9,000 to fund the celebration.
In past years, parents have hosted car washed, pub nights and other community-style fundraisers, but this they’re hoping to reach friends, family and alumnae beyond New Westminster’s borders by fundraising online through YouCaring.
Anyone can donate to the campaign. So far the NWSS dry grad committee has raised more than $1,500 for dry grad – but they still need $7,500.
