Denfeld High School Class of 2026 Grad Party Committee Boosts Fundraising

The volunteer committee behind Denfeld High School's All Night Grad Party is pushing toward a $22,000 fundraising target for the Class of 2026, with three upcoming community events designed to close the gap before graduation night.

Committee Chair Jason Androsky says the goal could climb even higher given the size of this year's graduating class. "Our goal is $22,000. That may increase because this year we have 260 graduates," he said. The committee, co-chaired by Elizabeth Androsky, operates entirely on donations. "We are strictly donation-based nonprofit and we raise money to help the seniors have a great final night," Jason Androsky said. "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."

The fundraising push builds on a recent Community Impact Fundraiser at Pizza Ranch at Miller Hill Mall, where 10% of all sales and 100% of cash tips went directly toward the 2026 party. Two more Pizza Ranch fundraisers are scheduled for April 8 and May 6, giving the Duluth community additional chances to contribute just by dining out.

The committee is also hosting a craft silent auction on April 25 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Androsky encouraged anyone interested in participating to reach out by email or through the committee's Facebook page.

For those who prefer to give directly, checks made out to Denfeld All Night Grad Party can be mailed to Denfeld High School. PayPal is also accepted. "We have PayPal and we're looking for people to help. Just donate and help organize this great night," Androsky said.

The party itself runs from check-in at 9:30 p.m. through 1:30 a.m., spanning the school's lobby, field house, and ice rink. The program includes escape rooms, ice-skating, caricatures, airbrush tattoos, spa services with waxing and haircuts, yard games, and all-you-can-eat food and drinks throughout the night. Every attendee receives a prize, with a select few taking home a grand prize.

Parents, guardians, and community members interested in joining the planning committee or signing up to volunteer on the night of the event can reach Jason and Elizabeth Androsky at (218) 730-7003.
