Sponsor A Senior!
Senior year is an exciting time for our students! Prom! Graduation! Senior End of the Year Party! And so much more! Unfortunately, not all students can afford to celebrate their accomplishments or commemorate their senior year. We hope you will consider sponsoring a senior to help them have a truly special senior year experience!
Any donation amount is welcome and appreciated! Please reach out to Nicki Ess at 618-304-9556 or projectgrad@arcadiapto.org with any questions. We welcome business sponsorships as well and can provide a 501c3 receipt. All funds raised will be used to make this year extra special for all of our seniors!!!
Payments can be dropped off at Arcadia front office (checks made payable to Project Grad) or you may send a Zelle payment (enrolled as projectgrad@arcadiapto.org).
With thanks!
