As the iconic Doris Day once sang, Hooray for Hollywood!

Please join us once again in supporting the Bedford Education Foundation’s annual fundraiser. This year our theme takes on all things Hollywood – the glitz, the glamour, the stars, the movies – all for another unforgettable evening. The BEF Hollywood Bash will take place on Saturday, February 8th, 2020 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Burlington. With your help, we can continue funding grants for innovative and creative educational initiatives in the Bedford Public Schools.

To date, the BEF has awarded $235,000 to educators in the Bedford school system. Several of these grants are highlighted in the enclosed flyer. Students throughout our K–12 school system have benefitted from this funding, and our organization grows stronger each year. Our generous sponsors and silent auction donors who help make these grants possible are widely publicized on-site at our events, as well as via our website, social media, and local publications, reaching thousands of community members.

Last year our Roaring 20s Casino Night raised $29,000, and we are reaching for new heights this year. We are relying on the generous support of you and other community sponsors/donors to achieve our 2020 goal of $35,000. By doing so, we can further support programs that enhance our students’ classroom experience.

As a valued member of our community, we would like to offer you the earliest opportunity to promote your business at the largest annual evening event solely benefitting Bedford’s schools. Your donation of an item to our silent auction will help ensure the continuation of future pilot programs within our schools while creating a link for your business to the community.

Thank you for your willingness to consider our special request this year. We would be honored to have your support. A member of our silent auction team will follow up with you in the coming weeks.
