Thanks to the generosity of caregivers, friends, and community members, the Class of 2023 was treated to a spectacular All Night Graduation Celebration on the evening of June 1-2. It would not have been possible to carry on this beloved tradition without the support of scores of volunteers, sponsors, donors, and Bedford staff members. Please visit All Night Grad Party Thank You to read our thank you note!
Started in 1988, this was the 34th annual incarnation of the overnight party (with a small unfortunate hiatus in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic). All Night Graduation is a safe and substance-free evening on the night of graduation where our graduates can celebrate, reminisce, and enjoy their last hours together as a class. During this event, the new graduates enjoy lots of food from local businesses, incredible performers, hilarious games, fun activities, and prizes. Each year more than 85 percent of graduating seniors attend. This truly special event has been made possible by the manpower of 150+ volunteers and the financial and in-kind support from the entire Bedford community; families, organizations and businesses alike. No student is ever denied entry based on financial circumstances.
