PBCHS Hosts Project Graduation

On Wednesday, May 21, Palm Beach Central High School’s Project Graduation Committee hosted its annual all-night party, and 381 seniors were on hand for the fun at Wellington’s Village Park.

The committee worked hard and raised more than $27,000 for the event, which included plenty of food donated by local businesses. Seniors had a great time competing in a dodge ball tournament, testing their skills at carnival games, playing around on a giant inflatable Twister game and making funny faces in the photo booth.

A hypnotist also mesmerized the seniors as they watched their friends fall into a deep trance. More than 200 prizes were given away.

The Project Graduation Committee thanks everyone who donated their time, money and goods to make this year’s event a success. The committee would like to especially thank marquee sponsor Equestrian Sport Productions and platinum sponsor Buffalo Wild Wings.

Additional sponsors included gold sponsors Minto Communities, Chipotle Mexican Grill, the Mall At Wellington Green, Best French Fries, PDQ-Wellington and Wellington Donuts, and silver sponsors the Village of Wellington, River Bridge Animal Hospital, Chick-fil-A, Foster’s Grille, Mary Kay Sales Director Gwendolyn Powell and Councilwoman Anne Gerwig.
