A $1,000 grand prize will be up for grabs on Saturday, April 24 when Buckhannon-Upshur High School’s Project Graduation hosts a virtual elimination dinner.

Several other giveaways are being held in conjunction with the event. See the flyer below for details.

Project Graduation provides B-UHS 2021 graduating seniors an opportunity to spend one last time together as a whole before taking their own individuals steps into the next chapter of their book. In addition to this last bonding moment, this ensures that mine and yours will be safe the night of graduation.

For all that attend Project Graduation, endless food, activities and prizes will be in abundance. At the end of the night, each student will walk away with at least one prize, a full belly, and a lasting memory. Did we mention that there will be a grand prize drawing as well for one lucky kid?

So what is Project Graduation, you ask? Well, simply put, a night that any graduating senior would not want to miss out on!
