Turner High School is currently the only campus in Pearland hosting such an event, which organizers say is a vital effort to pro-tect students on a night that can often pose significant risks.“Our goal is to give every graduat- ing senior the opportunity to attend this chaperoned, all-night celebration filled with games, food, entertainment, priz-es, and transportation — all at no cost to them,” said event coordinator Bry-onne Cummings.To make the event possible, organiz-ers are asking for community support through sponsorships, donations, and in-kind contributions. A $100 donation sponsors one senior’s entire night of celebration, but gifts of any amount are appreciated and will go directly toward event expenses.In-kind donations are also being accepted, including items for approx-imately 150 senior gift bags, food and desserts for the Senior Serve Fundrais-er Dinner in May 2026, silent auction items, and gift cards for student prize giveaways at the event.Turner High School Project Gradua-tion is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, meaning all donations are tax-deductible. Donors will receive a receipt and W-9 for their records. Spon-sorship packages are available outlining multiple giving levels and benefits.“This event gives our graduates a night they’ll never forget — for all the right reasons,” Cummings said. “We’re grateful for the community’s continued generosity and support of Turner High School seniors.”For more information or to get in-volved, contact Bryonne Cummings at thsprograd.communityoutreach@gmail.com or call 913-963-6399.
