Each year, the commission selects a charity they would like to contribute to and chooses a corresponding color theme for the dance. Last year’s funds were donated to an earth-preservation organization, hence the dance was named the Go Green Dance. As an added incentive, students who wear that color to the dance get a discount on admission. This year, any student who wears blue clothing (excluding just blue jeans), will only have to pay $1 for admission. Regular admission is $2, and students must have their student ID cards present to be admitted.
“Last year’s event was a really big success, and had the biggest turnout of any event planned by the commission,” junior Pooja Kundargi, who serves on the Cupertino Teen Commission, said.
Over 600 students attended last year’s dance, but this year there will be a cut-off at 450 students.
