As many of you know, we ran a campaign where our customers
could “Nominate the 2014 Graduate” for a $500.00 cash award.
We
asked one simple question:
Why?
The response was overwhelming.
The number of deserving students was
inspiring.
Many graduated despite personal and trying
circumstances. Others graduated while offering their help through hours of
community service.
But in the end we
could only pick one.
We are pleased to announce Stefanie Ahearn as “Party World’s 2014 Graduate of the Year”.
Stefanie, coming from very unfortunate circumstances,
graduated from Spanaway Lake High School where she enrolled in their Running Start
program. Stefanie managed to graduate with both a high school diploma and an
Associate’s degree from Pierce College, all while maintaining Honor Roll status
for both schools.
She will continue her
studies at Western Washington University, as she plans to receive her Bachelor’s
degree in two years. From there she will join the Peace Corps for a year, and
then back to school for her PHD in Psychiatry.
Please stay tuned for more as Stefanie receives her cash
award later this week.
Congratulations, Stefanie!
Party World would like to thank each and every one of you
who submitted your Graduate for consideration.
We received many heartfelt submissions.
Thanks to you we now know our community has many outstanding new graduates
that family and friends can be very proud of!
