NHS Class of 2021 Needs Your Help!

Hello Fellow Chamber Members!

My name is Cathy Rossini Lapierre and besides being a local business owner am
also the mother of a senior at Newington High School. You have heard how much
our high school students have had to adjust in the last year, canceled sports,
theater, band, dances, and memories due to a pandemic. We are organizing the
annual overnight graduation party, which is designed to keep students safe by
providing a drug and alcohol-free celebration immediately after graduation.

The cost of hosting this amazing event for our kids is $30,000 and it is all raised by
parents of seniors. We are excited that this yearly event will resume again this
year with modifications to keep everyone safe due to COVID restrictions. Our
kids, teachers, and staff are overly excited about being able to host this event after
last year’s cancellation.

How can you help?

  • CASH – we can acknowledge any donation over $100 in advertisements in
    the yearbook and local Papers. (we can also provide a 5013© letter).
  • SWAG – for our Project Graduation Golf Tournament, there are 100 goodie
    bags to fill and a raffle at the graduation after-party.
  • BUY a discounted restaurant card for only $20, support 8 local restaurants.
  • SPONSOR the golf tournament or purchase a tee sign.

If you have products or services that could be used for either event, please reach
out to me and chat!

I look forward to partnering up with you to give the graduating class of 2021 a
safe and fun party!
