Project Graduation Westborough

We thank all of the local businesses that provided their financial support, donations of food or beverages and donations of services.

Volunteer to Work on a Committee. Parents comprise the bulk of our volunteers on various committees.
-
Make a donation. The total cost of the event is $20,000. Each year we ask families for a donation of at least $50 to help defray the cost of the event. Donations made by or on behalf of a graduating senior are tax deductible for the amount above the suggested donation amount of $50. Donations made by all others are fully tax deductible.

Thank our community donors. Visit our sponsor page and let our donors know that you appreciate their donations, for without their support, this opportunity for our seniors would not be possible.
