Letter: Generous businesses, individuals gave BHS Class of 2010 night to remember

To the editor:

The Beverly High School Class of 2010 graduation was held Sunday, June 13, marking the 19th anniversary of the Beverly High School Up All Night Party. The mission has not changed over the years — providing a fun and safe celebration for the graduates, and to let them know that their hometown applauds their achievements.

The Up All Night Party was held once again at Cedardale Health and Fitness Club in Haverhill. This venue had much to offer, providing an exciting and entertaining night for the graduates. There was a pool, tennis, basketball, racquetball, inflatables, casino tables and more. A hilarious performance by a hypnotist was the perfect end to the evening.

We would like to thank all of the many local business and community leaders who generously donated funds and/or services to this event:

The Beverly Police Department; the Serpa family, owners of Dunkin' Donuts; Paul Guanci and Casual Catering Inc.; Steve Jones and Cherry Farm Creamery; Beverly Driving School; Bass Haven Yacht Club; Arts Supplies Wholesale; Beverly Rotary Club Foundation Inc.; Beverly Kiwanis Foundation; Fashion Tailoring; The Italian Community Center; Liberty Lodge of Masons; Beverly Cooperative Bank; Danversbank; North Shore Bank; Salem Five; Burlington Physical Therapy; Mary Cotraro, Remax; David Pinciaro, CPA; Lakeview Motor Lodge; Leslie Ray Insurance; Kellco Management Inc.; The Remodeling Company; Casa de Moda; Beverly Driving School; Beverly Garden Suites; Fortunato Insurance Agency Inc. and Jean Paddol; Gorton's; Grondin Funeral Home; Domino's Pizza; Jack Altshuler, Attorney at Law; Edward Doherty, Attorney at Law; Beverly Church of the Nazarene; The Second Congregational Church; Church in the Cove; Immanuel Church; Garden City Pediatrics; Northeast Health System; Powers & Sullivan; Essex County OB/GYN Assocciates; Dr. Donald LeClair, DMD; Drs.
