Car Wash, Garage Sale, Clothing Drive Benefit Project Graduation

A rain date is set for Sunday. All events take place at Jonathan Dayton High School.

Jonathan Dayton High School's senior class already has an eye on graduation - Project Graduation, that is.

A three-pronged fundraiser will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with all funds going toward the all-night party that has become a Dayton tradition. The festivities, which follow the school's June graduation ceremony, are held as a way to prevent alcohol-related misfortunes. Project Graduation presents students with fun activities like DJs, movies, dance parties, hypnotists and more.


To support the event, a car wash, garage sale and clothing drive will be held at JDHS. The price per car is $5 and a rain date is set for Sunday. 

Used clothing collected will include: 

* Wearable & Usable Clothing

(Men’s, Womens & Childrens)
