Celebrate a Senior FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Please take a moment to see our most recent updates to Celebrate a Senior based on your feedback and popular requests.

When/How do I make payment?

Please make payment when you submit your sponsorship by following the link at the bottom of the informational paragraph in the google form: https://unipaygold.unibank.com/Default.aspx?customerid=649. 

Can I choose the senior I would like to sponsor? 

You may request a specific senior to sponsor, however your preference is not guaranteed.   To ensure equity and inclusion for all, graduates not identified by name will be assigned randomly to sponsoring families. 

Are there any lower price-point options for sponsorship? 

We recognize that these are financially challenging times. Consider teaming up with a group of friends or neighbors to sponsor a graduate.

I am not comfortable shopping in person at a store. Any suggestions? 

  • Use what you have at home 
  • Google homemade graduation or birthday decorations to get some ideas
  • Create a poster to hang on the front door
  • Cut out paper plates or construction paper grad shapes and hang the from tree branches using yarn or string
  • Paint Rocks with fun pictures and/or messages
  • Scope out your seniors front yard and make a scavenger hunt (use your old plastic easter eggs and put letters inside them to make a word puzzle for instance “LOOK IN THE MAILBOX” or “LOOK BEHIND THE FLOWERS”. Then on the appropriate day hide a small present in that location (a card, a rock with a painted message, a Dunkin Donuts gift card…)
  • Hang a clothesline on a tree and clip messages and pictures to it
  • Decorate the driveway with sidewalk chalk 

I am unable to commit to the daily in person events. Can I still participate?

Email Kelly Lawrence at klawrence@hanoverschools.org and we can find volunteers to shop and/or decorate. 

Can I make a donation without sponsoring a senior?  

Yes! We are happy to accept your donation and our team of volunteers will celebrate a senior in your honor.  Please complete the senior selection field with the phrase “donation only”.
