Denfeld High School All Night Grad Party Seeks $22,000 in Community Donations

The volunteers behind Denfeld High School's All Night Grad Party are asking Duluth to dig in. The committee, a strictly donation-based nonprofit, is working toward a $22,000 fundraising goal for its 2026 celebration — a figure that committee chair Jason Androsky says may need to climb higher given the size of this year's graduating class.

"Our goal is $22,000," Androsky said. "That may increase because this year we have 260 graduates."

The All Night Grad Party has long brought Denfeld seniors together at the Heritage Building for a supervised, community-funded celebration at the close of their high school years. Androsky is clear that nothing about that tradition is changing. "It's been a tradition to have it at the Heritage Building. We're going to continue that, this year is no exception to that."

To reach the goal, the committee has been running a series of targeted fundraisers. A recent Community Impact Fundraiser at the Pizza Ranch in Miller Hill Mall directed 10% of all sales and 100% of cash tips toward the 2026 party. Two more Pizza Ranch fundraiser nights are scheduled: April 8 and May 6. On April 25, the committee will host a craft silent auction running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Anyone interested in contributing items or participating can reach the committee by email or through its Facebook page.

"We are strictly donation-based nonprofit and we raise money to help the seniors have a great final night," Androsky said. "Checks are made out to Denfeld All Night Grad Party and mailed to Denfeld High School. We have PayPal and we're looking for people to help. Just donate and help organize this great night."

Beyond dollars, organizers are actively recruiting volunteers and asking supporters to share upcoming fundraiser events on social media. The committee has not published a specific PayPal link in its public communications, so those interested in donating online should reach out directly through the committee's Facebook page to confirm current payment details before sending funds.
