PLEASE DONATE
We still need help with donations to make the senior All-Night-Party a success. The party is a long standing tradition at UCAS! The students look forward to this capstone gathering. We need help with: Chaperoning, Set up/Clean up, Desserts, Pancake breakfast items and Gift baskets/Gift cards that will be given out throughout the night. We hope to have something for each senior that attends. These baskets have a suggested range of $35-$50 price limit, to provide a common value to each and every basket. Creativity is encouraged. Please sign up here to help: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/409054BAAA92EA02-ucas#/
Please have gift basket items/gift cards to the OREM UCAS campus by May 19th so they can be organized.
Online donations are also accepted. Any money collected will be used to purchase gift cards/gift basket items for the seniors. Pay by digital check to avoid a fee. (https://secureinstantpayments.com/sip/cart/event.php?EID=2510#Approve).
