FYI: Butler Project Prom 2017

Butler Project Prom 2017

Dear Business Owners, Parents, Families and Friends.

     Plans for the 29th Annual Project Prom 2017 are well under way.  This event, which is held immediately after Prom, is hosted by the parents of the Butler High School Juniors and Seniors.  Our goal is to provide a fun, drug and alcohol free environment for the juniors, seniors, and their dates.

     Many activities are planned including a free t-shirt for each student, games, food, entertainment and lots of great prizes for all.

      The Project Prom Committee started working on fundraising activities during the summer and are looking for donations from parents of the students, businesses, local organizations, churches and individuals.  We understand that many of you are approached for donations from other schools and organizations, but our hope is that you will be willing to support this event for the students of the B.H.S.

     If you have been a supporter in the past, "We THANK YOU" and hope for your continued support.  If you are a first time supporter we hope that you will make this an annual event to support.  The Project Prom parents work hard to make this a success, but could not do it without our community support.

     If you are giving a monetary gift we have 3 categories:

Gold:  $100 and up, your name or business will be printed on the back of the Project Prom t-shirts and be listed on a Thank You poster as well as in the newspaper.

Silver:  $50-$99, your name or business will sponsor a prize/event at Project Prom and be listed on a Thank You poster as well as in the newspaper.

Bronze:  up to $49, your name or business will be listed on a Thank You poster as well as in the newspaper.

Get that red on for baby Remington Craft

Hi everyone. My name is Remington Craft, I was born with a heart defect. Today is my first surgery. My mommy, daddy and the rest of my family are very, very scared and sad. I need everyone to pray hard for me, my family and the doctors doing my surgery today. God has me in his hands and will watch over me but the more prayers I get will help. I hope you all are wearing your Rally for Remington shirts or a red shirt to support me and my family. Thank you all. #rallyforremi. #kamsfam
