| Sign at Quince Orchard HS promoting my upcoming show. |
It requires a Herculean effort for a school’s Parent
Teacher Student Association (PTSA) or Booster Club to plan, organize, promote
and host a post prom or all night graduation party. Everyone involved is a volunteer. It is very much a labor of love.
There is also the challenge of paying for it all –
the facility, food, entertainment, clean-up and security. The cost runs well into the thousands of
dollars.
That’s why the effort of organizations like Montgomery County Project Prom/Graduation
(MCPPG) is so important. MCPPG helps volunteers
from member schools share best practices, plus they facilitate fundraising by
applying for grants.
For five years I have donated my time to entertain
at post prom and graduation events held by schools in Montgomery County and
Fairfax County. It is a whole lot of fun
and, personally, very fulfilling to do my small part to help.
This year I’m raising my game through more direct
support of the fundraising process. On
Saturday, November 19, I will be the headline performer at an event hosted by the
Quince Orchard High School Booster Club. Ticket sales for my Hypnotic Experience show
and the accompanying silent auction will fund after school activities.
Early in the New Year on Friday, January 13 I’ll do
the same for a fundraising event hosted by Seneca
Valley High School’s PTSA.
Email me at m.russell.hausman@gmail.com if
you would like more information about either of these shows. I encourage you to come on out for a great
time and to support two wonderful schools.
