Project Graduation is a popular program for high schools nationwide. Project Graduation events provide entertainment for graduating high school seniors while helping to ensure their safety. But throwing an event for hundreds of high school students isn’t cheap. A successful fundraiser can help cover the costs while promoting a sense of school spirit and community.
