Attending his after-prom party paid off for a rising senior at Luray High School.
Tommy Weaver won a new Hyundai Elantra donated by First Team Auto Mall of Roanoke. Students from about 30 high schools gathered at Valley View Mall Sunday for the After Prom Grand Finale Event.
After–prom parties are a major project of Roanoke Area Youth Substance Abuse Coalition. The parties are designed to provide safe environments for high school students on their prom nights, and the chance to win a car is a major incentive to stay at the party. RAYSAC points out that in the 23 years of the program, no student at a high school participating at in the car giveaway program has been injured or killed in a prom night car accident.
