We are happy to announce that this year’s Ball Drop Fundraiser was an awesome success! Thanks to our community’s overwhelming generosity and enthusiasm, we are off to a great start raising critical funds that will directly support Project Graduation’s mission for the Class of 2027.
This event truly shows what happens when a community comes together. We want to express our gratitude to every single volunteer who dedicated their time and energy behind the scenes and to everyone who purchased a ticket!
A massive THANK YOU to our key partners who made this event possible:
