Description

This event, which is organized and staffed by over 200 parent volunteers, provides a safe, chaperoned, and memory-filled night for the graduating class of AHS. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) conceived the idea of an all-night alcohol and drug-free party decades ago. Since its inception, the number of senior fatalities on graduation night has dropped significantly. With your support, we can continue to reduce the number of fatalities and provide our seniors with an evening to remember. 


Annandale High School serves over 2100 students in Fairfax County, VA. We are a diverse school with over 87% of students representing minoritized populations, 33% of students who are English language learners, and 60% of our students qualifying for free or reduced price meals. And our students are high-achieving with nearly 60% of juniors and seniors participating in International Baccalaureate coursework, . 


As you can imagine, the cost of a party for the over 500 graduating seniors is enormous. While ticket sales help defray some of the costs, we keep prices affordable so that all seniors are able to attend. To support the remaining costs, AHS PTSA hosts an online auction each March to raise the remaining funds, utilizing donations from companies such as yours. This auction is publicized throughout Annandale, both through the school and the community at large. This year’s online auction will take place March 6-19, 2025.
