The Marion Chamber Foundation presents the 2019 Friends For Life Graduation Spree on Thursday, May 16 at the SIU Rec Center. 

The cost to provide this event last year was approximately $12,000 with the average cost being about $130 per student. Marion Grad Spree would not be possible without the help of our Chamber and community members. We are writing to you today to request donations of funds to help cover the cost of the event and door prize items to giveaway to seniors throughout the night.
 
For businesses and individuals, we have the following sponsorship levels available: Silver-$250, Gold-$500, and Platinum-$1000+. Of course, any amount is appreciated. We will honor our Gold & Platinum Sponsors by including their name and link to their Web site in Grad Spree promotional materials, on our website, newsletter and email blasts. A donation statement for your taxes is available upon request.
 
Also, please consider volunteering to chaperone during this year’s Grad Spree. Last year, more than 30 people volunteered to chaperone this annual event. We anticipate needing at least 30 chaperones again this year. Any time you can volunteer will help make this a memorable night for the seniors.

Chaperons are needed from 9 p.m. until 5 a.m. Opportunities Include:

• Student signup (9-10:30 p.m.)
• Bus Chaperone (9-10:30 p.m.)
• At the event, activities & times vary.  (9 p.m. - 4 a.m).?
• Bus Chaperone (4-4:30 a.m.)
