Prom night for the Bromfield School is just three weeks away. This monumental rite of passage for high schoolers is something most teens look forward to throughout high school, and remember for the rest of their lives thereafter. For students in Harvard, the after-prom party, Celebration, has been just as important for the past 30 years.
Celebration began in the 1990s after the loss of a Bromfield student to drunk driving on prom night. Many schools throughout the country host after-prom events to keep kids safe, and ours is no exception. Celebration is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) here in town that has delighted the community for decades with its large-scale and grandiose postprom social event. With themes like Time Travel, Hollywood, and Carnival, juniors and seniors have been treated to a magical night where their school gets transformed into another world.
Since the pandemic, the scale of Celebration has decreased significantly due to a shortage of volunteers and donations. This year, the committee is in dire need of assistance to make the event happen. We need help on May 15 in the early evening with setup, and then early in the morning on May 16 with cleanup. Additionally, we need funds to be able to provide activities and snacks to keep our teenagers engaged and involved in the festivities.
Please consider offering your support in any way you are able to keep this important community event alive. Without it, our teens will lose one of the most epic experiences of their high school careers. To learn more and to volunteer your help, go to bromfieldcelebration.com.
