The Junior Class is excited to announce our Golf Ball Drop Fundraiser to support the 2026 Bement High School Prom!
Here’s how it works:
Golf balls will be dropped from above onto a designated target at the Homecoming Bonfire on WEDNESDAY, October 15th at 6:45pm.
The golf ball that lands closest to the target wins a prize! We will also have bullseyes sponsored by various businesses to win prizes.
Each $20 ticket gives you one golf ball entry into the drop.
How to Purchase:
Reach out to any Junior student or Mrs. Corum or Mrs. Clodfelter.
Tickets may be purchased with cash or by check (payable to Bement School).
