Watch for Seniors in Top Hats, Tails

High school seniors in prom gowns, boas, top hats and tails may walk up to you today in Barrington and ask for a donation.

The seniors will be making their way around town from 9 am to 1 pm to raise funds to help support the annual Senior Prom AfterProm.

You might even see some of the seniors at stoplights with the top hats, similar to firefighters collecting cash in boots.

The money the seniors raise will help to buy the raffle prizes for seniors who spend the night at the AfterProm celebration.

The AfterProm is free to seniors and their dates. Parents, local businesses and donations from within the community pay for the event.

re continuing to donate even after their children have graduated.

Two seniors are using the AfterProm as their senior project – especially the fundraiser on Saturday.

If you don’t run into a well-dressed senior on Saturday, and you want to donate, you can send a check to the high school in care of the Barrington AfterProm. The address is 220 Lincoln Ave.
