WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE Welcome to Tri-Cities Prep Dear Prep Supporters, Welcome to Tri-Cities Prep 23rd Annual Dinner and Auction, Where Dreams Come True! The support we receive from tonight’s event helps support over 50% of the students who attend Tri-Cities Prep. It is a worthwhile cause. By supporting Prep, you play an important role in helping to produce young men and women who make a diff erence in this community and beyond. We are proud of our students and their achievements. We are proud of our nearly 100% graduation rate as well as the 98% of our graduates who continue on to a college or university. We are proud of the over 5,000 hours of community service our students collectively give to the Tri-Cities. We are proud of their academic, athletic, and drama achievements. We are proud. I hope you enjoy the auction. I hope you leave with an item or two, perhaps a vacation, or a bottle from the Wall of Wine. Most importantly, I hope you leave feeling as I do, that Tri-Cities Prep is a special place.
