Plans for our PW Grad Prom Dinner & Dance privately organized by a group of volunteer parents of students of Prince of Wales are well underway. Although this event is considered an “unsanctioned event”, we are working with the school administration to keep this event as safe as possible.
The evening is scheduled for Saturday, June 17, 2023 at the Terminal City Club from 5 pm to midnight and promises to be an unforgettable event for the grads and their guests. While ticket sales and fundraisers will help to keep admission costs down, we still need to raise funds to make the event come to life, especially after years of not being able to follow our usual fundraising schedule, thanks to Covid.
We have set an ambitious goal to raise $5,000 by December May 31st, 2023 to ensure that all 170 members of the class of 2023 have a safe and extraordinary graduation celebration. We secured the venue and are now looking to pay for the “extra’s” – photo booth, DJ, balloon wall, K-Pop DJ,
The Direct Grad Appeal is a simple way to help. It also offers an opportunity to receive a tax receipt for your donation to the event if you use SchoolCashOnline. Donations over $20 will automatically receive a tax receipt. You can also buy tickets starting Monday using e-transfer payments using the e-mail: princeofwalesprom23@pwpac.org
Please consider donating to honour your graduate and the entire Prince of Wales Secondary class of 2023.
Funds raised will contribute to many aspects of the event, including:
- Tickets for grads and families in financial need
- Decorations
- Tickets for the parent chaperones
- Venue costs (including catering, security etc.)
- Music/DJ
- Fun non-alcoholic beverages
- Dessert bar
Tickets are now on sale for $150, and “friends” fopr $185. If we could sell at least 100 tickets by May 31, 2023, we would have enough to cover our room fees. Tickets can be paid using e-transfer payments or Eventbrite, although Eventbrite has user fees, which are non-refundable in case you change your mind.
If you have any questions, please e-mail Elke Porter (porterprvancouve r@ gmail.com – put e-mail together with no spaces) using DIRECT APPEAL in the subject line.
On behalf of all of our grads, we thank you for your consideration and support!
