• Prom (hosted by the school) is a formal dinner dance at the Field Museum
• POST PROM (hosted by Parents)

• • A skyline cruise aboard The Odyssey immediately following the dance at the Field Museum – guests will be bussed from the Field Museum to Navy Pier to board the Odyssey
  • Dancing, karaoke and refreshments are provided during the chaperoned 5-star cruise.  
  • Hinsdale Police and Parent volunteers chaperone. 
  • Following, students board busses back to Hinsdale Central, arriving home around 3 a.m.

• Our fundraising goal is $30,000
• Our goal is to keep the cost of Post Prom at $45, depending on our fundraising success

• • Traditionally over 95% of Prom goers attend Post Prom
  • This fundraising covers approximately half of the ACTUAL Odyssey ticket price and allows us to keep this ticket price low at $45
  • This budget fully pays for students who aren’t able to afford a ticket

• Donated funds underwrite costs for the classes ’23, ’24 & ’25
• Our committee hasn’t had a fundraising campaign since 2019 due to Covid.  However last year we supported 2 events using funds from our reserves; consequently our reserves need to be replenished!  
  • 1/2 of the ticket price for the Class of 2021 Graduation Party Cruise on the Odyssey 
  • 100% of the funding toward the gift baskets that were raffled at the 2021 Prom.  

• Chaperones meet at Hinsdale Central at 10:30 pm and are bussed downtown
• Chaperones manage Odyssey student check in and walk around to make sure everyone is safely having a great time.  
• Everyone boards the busses around 2:30 am to return to Hinsdale Central
• Grab some friends and volunteer – it’s a fun sneak peek to Prom!
• 4 – 5 Hinsdale Police Officers also chaperone
• The cost of the chaperone transportation and Odyssey ticket is covered by Post Prom

Thank you for supporting this amazing tradition!
