Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools’ Project Graduation party is this weekend! 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell sat down for a conversation with Project Graduation’s four student co-chairs about the event, its importance, all the behind-the-scenes planning – and how you can help.

They are making great progress towards their fundraising goal for this year, but still need more support to fully fund the event and reach the goal of $70,000. Half of the funds raised go to scholarships and prizes for graduating seniors. Help give them a boost in this final week before grad night. To make a tax-deductible donation or sponsor this epic event, go to projectgraduationCHCCS.org.
