Class of 2023 parents/guardians/supporters - please reach out to our group so we can pass the torch! Planning Grad Bash is fun - get started early!💙💛💙

GradBash’22 is over and it was a huge success. In the coming week or two our small but mighty committee will “debrief” and publish a thank you to all donors who made the event possible. In the meantime - some details and reflections:
The event was held at Craig’s Cruisers - a phenomenal venue!
93 graduates attended (maybe 94 - further analysis pending😂)
26 chaperones volunteered 😀!
50 prizes purchased from or donated by local business - not including 45 gift certificates from local favorite Big Al’s!
Every attendee received a gift card from Meijer!
Food - there was a lot of it!🍕🍝🥗🍦
In February of this year we thought we may need to cancel due to lack of funds and the uncertainty of Covid. Due to the dedicated efforts of Angela Rank Monroe, Jamie Spencer Tabaczka, Lisa Preston Eckhardt, Mary Reid, Mindy Dalke, and others, over $20,000 was raised to ensure the event would occur in a grand fashion!
We so appreciated the bus drivers who stayed up to drive us and Manistee Area Public Schools Nutrition services for providing breakfast grab and go meals for our tired and hungry attendees.
So while more thanks is coming - for now - know GradBash came back stronger than ever after a two year absence because of a great community who cares about providing a safe and memorable graduation night experience. Thank you Manistee! And now we rest!😂 (and we look forward to handing the torch over to the GradBash 23 Committee - contact us anytime!)💙💛💙

The GradBash Committee met last week and decided to break with tradition and tell everyone where we are having GradBash this year:
Someplace Awesome! But seriously - it is. The dedicated parents who have tirelessly done fundraising these past few months (looking at you Angela Rank Monroe, Jamie Spencer Tabaczka, Lisa Preston Eckhardt and Mary Reid and Mindy Dalke who are unable to be tagged and others who have helped) have really outdone themselves and this will be a GradBash like no other!

But we need chaperones to attend a quick meeting this Thursday to prepare them for the event. So, chaperones who already signed up or parents/friends/family 18 or older who can attend this all night event on May 21, please stop by the Armory on Thursday May 5 at 6 pm for a 1/2 hour informational meeting!

And please like and share this post to spread the word! Thanks!

28/04/2022

Please share - this email was sent today but some parents/guardians/seniors may like another reminder! 💙💛💙
