Approximately 145 seniors, which was approximately 40% of 2016 graduating class, had a memorable night safely celebrating their accomplishments at Golfland Sunsplash in Roseville.

Thanks to the generosity of our numerous supporters and volunteers, Sober Grad Night for the Cordova High Class of 2016 was an enormous success!

Approximately 145 seniors, which was approximately 40% of 2016 graduating class, had a memorable night safely celebrating their accomplishments at Golfland Sunsplash in Roseville thanks to the generosity of the following donors and sponsors. Without their support, a majority of our students would be unable to afford a Sober Grad ticket because we would have to pass all $20,000 in costs on to our students, which would put the starting price of a ticket at $110, which would have been a barrier for most of our seniors to attend. Donations & fundraising helped us keep the starting ticket price at $75.

Cash Donors/Sponsors included; California American Water, Folsom Lake Bank, Folsom Lake Honda, Folsom Lake Toyota, Golden State Water, Individual donations from FCUSD employees and Cabinet, KP International Market, Loyal Order of Moose, Lodge #2357, Rancho Cordova City Council, Roebbelen Consulting, and many individual donors.

Prize donors included; B Street Theater, Disneyland, Firestone Complete Auto Care of Rancho Cordova, Opa! Opa! Greek Restaurant, Outback Steakhouse of Gold River, Quick Quack Car Wash of Rancho Cordova, Rancho Cordova Costco, Sacramento Kings Foundation, Sacramento Republic FC, Sacramento River Cats Foundation, Scott’s Seafood of Folsom, Sonoma Raceway, Straw Hat Pizza of Rancho Cordova, and Rancho Cordova Wingstop.

I am also extremely grateful to the 40+ volunteers comprised of alumni, family, campus organizations and teachers that helped out at Cordova High to get the kids safely on the buses as well as well as the volunteers for being ever vigilant keeping seniors safe at Sunsplash and for so tactfully and professionally identifying and addressing the few issues that arose. This was definitely a team effort! “The overwhelming positive feedback I have received from the seniors makes the lack of sleep and sore feet all worth it. Knowing that we ensured that our seniors, who had worked so hard to graduate, safely returned home to see their future’s through, was very gratifying,” says Sheryl Longsworth, Sober Grad chairperson.

CHS Sober Grad is a subcommittee of Cordova High PTSA, which was organized in April 2006. CHS PTSA works in partnership with a wide array of individuals and organizations to accomplish our agreed-upon goals. We are dedicated to promoting student health, well-being, and educational success through strong parent, family, and community involvement.

If anyone is interested in helping out with the 2017 Sober Grad Night, which will also be at Golfland Sunsplash, please contact Sheryl Longsworth at [email protected]. “Many hands make light work for all and our students are worth it,” says Longsworth.
