Warrensburg Class of 2026 Project Graduation Hosts Fundraiser Dinner and Auction

The Warrensburg Project Graduation committee held its fundraising dinner and auction at Milestones Event Barn on March 25, drawing community support to fund the Class of 2026's all-night graduation celebration.

The event began at 5:30 p.m. and featured a catered dinner alongside both a silent and live auction. All proceeds benefit the Class of 2026 Project Graduation directly, covering the cost of food, entertainment, prizes, and activities on graduation night.

Project Graduation provides a safe, substance-free graduation celebration for high school seniors on graduation night. For Warrensburg High School's Class of 2026, that means a fully organized, supervised evening built not on a single donor but on the neighbors, parents, and community members who showed up to Milestones Event Barn to bid and dine.

The dual-auction format gave attendees multiple entry points. Silent bidding let participants set their own pace; the live auction brought competitive energy from the room. Both fed the same goal: covering the actual cost of graduation night. Every winning bid traveled directly to the food seniors will eat, the prizes they will take home, and the entertainment that carries the celebration into the early hours.

That pipeline from fundraiser to graduation night is what makes contributing to Project Graduation a more direct gift than most spring alternatives. For relatives and friends who want to do something meaningful for a Class of 2026 senior but aren't sure what to give, supporting the committee puts money into an experience every senior in the class will actually live on graduation night. A card might simply say: "I contributed to your Project Graduation, so part of that night is from me."

Graduation for the Class of 2026 is still ahead; the March 25 fundraiser was the committee's push to have everything covered before that night arrives.
