Promfest is a post prom event fully organized and run by volunteers to provide a safe and chemical after prom experience at an amusement venue. Substance use is one of the major challenges facing Grundy County and this event insures substances are not part of after-prom celebrations. It includes full inspection of items brought by students for the event, transportation to and from the event, as well as supervision while at the event. Promfest costs approximately $13,000, with the goals of keeping costs minimal to the students to increase accessibility to as many students as possible. Fundraising events have been sufficient in the past, but as costs increase and donations have decreased this year, the Promfest committee is coming up short for this year's event. The students continue to express excitement over Promfest and the vast majority of students participate. Students are also able to attend the event should they choose not to attend prom. Recognition for donations is provided through the high school website and electronic sign, as well as future prom related events.
