According to alumni officials, the goal is to raise $117,600 to present each senior with gifts valued at $980. The gifts will include one prom ticket, one grad bash ticket, one senior breakfast ticket, one senior outing ticket, one yearbook, one class t-shirt, and one class hoodie. All remaining funds will be used to provide other benefits throughout the school year.
“With such a big endeavor, we are seeking the support of all MHS alumni and the community at-large to help us reach our goal of $117,600 by donating and/or sponsoring a senior,” said Valerie Lathern, MMA board member.
“The MMA has created a go fund me account to accept donations: https://gofund.me/81d20efe No donation is too big or too small.” Lathern added that the Morningside Monarch Alumni Association is a 401c organization and all donations rare tax deductible.
