| I have a large age gap between kids, and my youngest is going into 6th. Hoping they won’t be interested in going. |

| Weird post. But I will bite. There hasn’t been a white party since 2019. |

Wasn't that because of covid? Is it going to happen this year? My kids are in high school now, so I am not in the loop. |

| It stopped because of covid but all it takes to return is a group of kids at each school that are happy to take up fundraising efforts and planning. In the past, it has been the same school and group leading both. |

| Is this just a party where everyone wears the color white? Why is that offensive? (Genuinely asking… are the origins rooted in race?) |

The fundraiser part of it is like if Jackson Reed had a fundraiser for Ballou. It’s gross. |

But it's okay when P Diddy has his annual "white" party. Okay. |

What's so bad about raising money for a school of underprivileged kids? I think it is commendable! |

| Daughter went in 2018. Kids were puking and drunk. Bunch of over privileged white kids. Skip it if it comes back to life and do something fun and useful that weekend |

| If there was a black party I'd go because dark colors are slimming but this white party stuff just sounds racist and fraught with ugly stain possibilities. |

You mean there were no kids of color there or white poor kids? How do you know this? |
