The Grizzly Market silent auction is an annual opportunity to explore fun crafts and gifts from the surrounding community while giving back to the cause of Project Graduation. This year, the silent auction proceeds are going to support the class of 2025.
Not familiar with Project Graduation and what we do? Below is our inspiration:
Graduation night can be dangerous. All the tension, stress, and excitement of senior year is released on Grad Night. Alcohol-related incidences and life-threatening car collisions spike.
Project Graduation's mission is to provide Glenn High School seniors with a graduation night of exciting, safe, and substance-free activities. Our vision is to create an experience that helps our students celebrate their achievements and to create positive memories that last a lifetime. We promise to give them a night to remember!
Our students are best when our community invests in them.
High school graduation is the foundation of vibrant lives, thriving communities, and forward progress. This requires a culture of togetherness and investment where our youth is a shared value and priority.
We are a self-supporting booster! Project Graduation does not receive funding from the school or school district. Through the generosity of parents, community members, the Leander-Cedar Park business community, and many other surrounding businesses we strive to:
- Host a fun and safe evening for Glenn High School seniors
- Raise $40,000 to cover the expenses associated with Project Graduation (venue, activities, prizes, and food)
- Create exciting and memorable events for our GHS seniors throughout their last year
- Collaborate and build strong relationships with businesses in the Leander and Cedar Park area that will be showcased for their product donations and contributions
The roots of Project Graduation stem from Maine in the Oxford Hills in 1980. The aim was to prevent recurring tragedies, like seven alcohol and other drug-related deaths that occurred in 1979 in Oxford Hills during commencement season.
