Project Graduation for this year’s Harwood Union High School graduates will hold its first major fundraising event Friday, Jan. 29 with a Mardi Gras-themed Mystery Dinner and Silent Auction featuring local actors from the Valley Players theater group. Cocktail hour begins at 6 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m. at the Gate House Lodge at Sugarbush Resort. While guests arrive and check out the silent auction items, actors from the production mingle and share clues to the mystery that will unfold during the theatrical presentation. Audience members during dinner and dessert help solve the mystery with prizes awarded along the way. Tickets for the event are $25 per person before Jan. 29, $30 at the door. Student tickets are $15. Tickets may be purchased online at: https://ticketriver.com/event/18604. A nominal processing fee (under $2) will be added to adult tickets.

Project Graduation is an annual event organized by parent volunteers to provide a safe, fun, substance-free celebration the night of graduation. The entire cost is fundraised and parents chaperone. This year’s fundraising goal is $100 per student for transportation, food and associated fees.

Project Graduation owes much of its success each year to the generosity of local businesses that donate goods, services, or cash contributions.
