Volunteers from Colonial's Community Volunteer Corps sponsored by Colonial Youth and Family Services, and members of the William Floyd Community Summit worked together to raise money for prom assistance. This school year efforts by these two organizations raised $1,201. This effort enables an additional ten students to attend prom. Roses were sold every month at William Floyd High School. Proceeds were raised and donated to the school to help students with financial needs to attend the senior prom.

A big thank you goes out to all the volunteers who helped with this project and all the supporters who bought roses.

If you are a student in the William Floyd School District in grades six through twelve and would like to be a volunteer call 631-281-4461 and ask for Ray or Sam about registration information.

If you would like to make a monetary contribution to this project all donations are greatly appreciated.
