Dear Class of 2026,

Project Graduation was established by Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) in the mid-1980's to create an alcohol and drug free, secure celebration for graduating high school seniors. The goal is to provide a fun and safe environment to celebrate the students' achievements and keep them out of trouble on graduation night. The event takes place a few hours after the graduation ceremony ends on June 18, 2026, and runs throughout the night. 

The Project Graduation Committee is a parent run organization that is completely independent from all other fundraising committees and organizations within the school district. Our goal is to raise funds so that every graduating student can attend the event free of charge. The anticipated cost of the Project Graduation event is $50,000. We are a very dedicated organization and are planning multiple events to attempt to reach our goals. Our Nutley Community has embraced this event year after year and has continued to support the safety and well-being of our young graduates. 

The Project Graduation Committee is requesting assistance from every business and organization throughout the Township to help us reach our fundraising goals. Recognition for each donation will be displayed at each of our upcoming events. With your assistance, we can ensure that every graduating student will have a safe send-off on graduation night. 

All donations can be scheduled for picked up or mailed to the following:
