Thank you, Bedford, for coming out on May 6 to support the BEF at the beautiful and festive May Soirée!! Other than being down a few VERY sad committee members, we could not have asked for a lovelier evening. We are thrilled to have been able to host this event. Whether you purchased a ticket, made a donation, “Soirée Supported”, and/or participated in the fabulous silent auction, we truly appreciate your generosity. You have helped ensure that the BEF will continue its mission of funding creative and innovative grant programs in all four schools well into the future! Please take a moment to read on – we have many community partners to thank as well!
