Why go to G.R.A.D. Nite, besides the awesome party?
To keep your Graduate safe on such a special day. Graduation night has the highest death toll of the year for teenagers, because alcohol-related traffic accidents remain the No. 1 killer of America’s teenagers, and the evening of graduation is the party night of all party nights. Car accidents cause more teenage deaths than any other factor, and the majority of these accidents happen between 6 pm and 12 am. The percentage of automobile fatalities that involve alcohol jumps from 33 percent to 40 percent on graduation night.
When is G.R.A.D. Nite?
