Dear Grandville Community,
We are excited to share information about an incredible event that has become a tradition here at Grandville High School—Senior Survivor which will take place on Feb. 9-14, 2025! This week-long charity competition brings together our students, staff and community for a cause that directly impacts the lives of students in our district.
What is Senior Survivor?
Seventeen senior students are selected to compete in this unique fundraiser, where they live in the halls of Grandville High School for a week. During this time, they participate in challenges, form alliances, and work tirelessly to raise funds for the Grandville Student Assistance Fund and Hand2Hand. Each day, contestants are “voted off” based on their fundraising totals, and at the end of the week, the final survivor is crowned victorious. This year our seniors are partners with “junior survivors”. These are students from our elementaries, Oakestown Intermediate and our middle school. These students & buildings will help fundraise alongside our seniors to keep them in the game.
Partnership with Hand2Hand
This year a portion of all of the proceeds earned from Senior Survivor will be donated to Hand2Hand. Hand2Hand is an organization that delivers nutritious food to students over the weekends and on extended school breaks to help eliminate weekend hunger. Hand2Hand provides meals for students in every Grandville Public Schools building, which is over 265 children across the district. It costs Hand2Hand $4 to provide meals to one student per week so we are looking forward to raising money for this extraordinary organization.
Why Donate?
The money raised during Senior Survivor goes directly to supporting students and families in need throughout our district. These funds help provide necessities like food, clothing, and transportation, ensuring that every student has the resources they need to succeed.
We’ve created this short video on YouTube to highlight how these funds are used and why they make a meaningful impact.
