A 501 (c)(3) corporation established to allow for taxable donation and representation of the activities of the annual senior graduation party planned and implemented by parents at Summit High School. This non-profit corporation is not affiliated with the Bend-LaPine School District and is administered solely by parent volunteers. What is the “Alcohol & Drug Free All Night Party? It has become a tradition in Central Oregon for the local high school senior parents to put on an Alcohol & Drug Free Party following graduation to provide a safe means of celebration for all seniors. This necessitates major fundraising and planning over the course of the year prior to graduation. activities, games, food, and prizes are all part of the experience. this has been organized and run through countless volunteers during the year and 50-60 volunteers the day/night of the party. How do we raise the money and how much does the party cost? Parties have ranged from $25,000-$34,000. The class size and prices of goods and prizes determine the range in cost. Fundraising has varied from year to year with donations coming from senior parents, local businesses, and sales of things like pies, butter braids, and Valentine's Day candy. Donations are used for event costs and scholarship tickets for students with financial need. Any remaining funds are carried over to the next year's class association to allow for costs that occur prior to fall fundraising. This has ranged from $1,500-$7,000. Meetings and Volunteers This party needs many volunteers to plan and execute an exciting party atmosphere that will draw all the graduates.
