After Prom Needs Donations

January 31, 2019 by Staff Writer

AfterProm needs your donations to help us keep our kids safe on Prom Night. Please consider donating whatever you can. 

The After Prom Event has been very successful in providing a healthy, save, alcohol and substance free celebration for over 18 years.

It is an excellent alternative activity, which will take place after the Junior/Senior Prom. We are all painfully aware of the many tragedies that occur around prom season when a safe, chaperoned event is not available to students. The cost of providing a safe and successful After-Prom Event is in excess of $15,000. The Fairhaven High School After Prom funds are strictly from the community and parent donations, and the event is chaperoned by parent volunteers at the High School. Without community support, this event would not be possible and would force the students to find alternative activities on their most memorable night. Last year almost 300 students attended the After Prom Event and we are hoping for an even larger turnout this year. Entertain­ment and activities are provided from midnight until 5:00 a.m.

Please consider helping the youth of your community! We would like to, again, thank those who have helped in prior years and hope that they will consider helping again this year. The student you support could be your own, a relative, a neighbor’s, or an employee’s child. Join the list of local businesses and community profes­sionals who have made it work. We will display a community support board at the high school and at the After-Prom event. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT. If you wish, we will pick up your donations. If you have any questions, please call: Jennifer DeMello 508-951-4552.

Mail donations to FHS After Prom Committee, c/o Fairhaven High School, 12 Huttleston Ave., Fairhaven, MA 02719. Bronze Patron, $1-99; Silver, $100-249; Gold, $250-499; Platinum, $500-999; Diamond, $1,000+. Gift card and merchandise donations also welcome.
