Gambling Night Event To Help Farmington High Grad Party

Farmington High School Project Graduation Committee

FARMINGTON, CT — A night out gambling at a casino, often ends with empty wallets and, possibly, some regret.

But that is guaranteed not to happen later this month at a benefit for the Farmington High School Project Graduation Committee, which seeks to create a safe graduation celebration this June.

Because while you might part with some of your cash gambling that night, you won't mind because it will be for a good cause. And you might just come home with something as well.

"Gambling for Graduates," a casino night event, will be held Saturday, March 25, and it is open to the public to roll the dice, spin the wheel and play a hand in donating to the Farmington High School Class of 2023.

According to the committee, "Gambling for Graduates" will be the committee's largest fundraising event to date.

The event will be held at the Farmington Community Center, 321 New Britain Ave., Unionville. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Participants can BYOB.

The night will culminate in cashing in casino chips for raffle tickets toward raffle prizes ranging in prizes from $250 to $500.

Since 1984, FHS senior parent volunteers have organized a safe, alcohol- and drug-free all-night party following graduation, called Project Graduation.

The Project Graduation committee works throughout the school year to plan an evening for grads full of activities, entertainment, food, prizes and "wonderful memories."

Year after year, more than 90 percent of the graduating class has attended this graduation-night celebration.

The success of this event is dependent on the large number of volunteers to help plan, organize and run the event as well as funding through the community, sponsors and special events held throughout the year.
