Graduation for All
Donation protected
Some students won't walk across the graduation stage this year... and not for the reason you think.
They have the grades.
They have the credits.
They may have even been accepted to college already.
Then they get the order form for the cap, gown and graduation announcements, and that's where it stops.
Graduation expenses at one Denver high school start at $46 for just the cap and gown. For many of us $46 is what we spend on coffee for the week. Add in announcements and senior pictures, and the cost is a real burden or even impossible for some families.
The Graduation for All Fund helps those for whom the graduation ceremony is out of reach.
Counselors and social workers in Denver have identified students needing assistance. These families will place their orders like anyone else, and the school will use Graduation for All funds for payment. The funds we collect will be given to the graduation supply company on behalf of the student by the school. The donors and the recipients are completely anonymous - only the school knows who is receiving help.
Thanks to your donations, we can make sure that these kids have the same experience as everyone else in their class. Imagine the pride their families will feel when their senior marches across the stage, gets a diploma and a handshake, and takes the next step in their adult life. Your donation of any amount will help that happen.
UPDATE: We are placing orders now and all of them must be in by March 25, 2016. Please make your donations soon.
Thank you!
