RV Security Guard Reveals Wrestling Persona to Help Raise Funds for HS

Mount Holly, N.J. – Over one hundred students, staff and community supporters of Rancocas Valley Regional High School (RVRHS) recently turned out for an exciting night of wrestling, which featured one of the school’s own bodyguards. The event served as a fundraiser for “Project Graduation,” an all-night event that provides a safe, supervised and alcohol- and drug-free evening for seniors following graduation. Event ticket sales and sponsorships contributed to more than $1,000 raised.

Multiple professional wrestlers from Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) – including RVRHS security guard, Donte “Boom” Harden, as the main event – entertained an animated audience in the main gym.

“It was such an experience,” said RVRHS Principal Joseph Martin. “I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into this – how the crowd would respond, how many people would come out. I should have known it would be a great turnout since Boom has such a large following! It was exciting, engaging and fun to be part of.”

“We wanted to come up with a unique fundraiser this year – and we accomplished just that,” said Jen Rosenthal, student activities coordinator. “Boom and his crew put on a great show, the step team put on a great show, and on top of a successful event, we’re extremely pleased with the amount raised!”

The event’s sponsor, Donkey’s Place, donated $200 toward the fundraising goal.

RV’s annual Project Graduation event is scheduled immediately after the graduation ceremony on June 15 and provides food, music and fun for the senior class through multiple fundraising efforts.
