2011 Wine, Chocolate, and Cheese Fundraiser a Success!

Thank you to all who attended the Wine, Chocolate, and Cheese Party on March 10th or made donations in support of the event. The evening was full of great people, food, drink and music and the party drew a crowd of 200+ despite the rain and tornado warning! We were thrilled to hear from B-CC Principal Karen Lockard and honor Seth Goldman and Julie Farkas of HonestTea for their generous support of the Summer Academy program. Pictures can be viewed here (courtesy of ASJ Photography).

If you missed the event, it’s not too late to make a donation. We will keep you apprised through this site, Facebook, and our newsletter regarding future opportunities to network with our great community of supporters!


Two New Grants Awarded!

The B-CC HS Educational Foundation is pleased to announce two grants that were recently awarded to the B-CC HS IB Program. The first grant will allow the purchase of software that will streamline administrative tasks of the diploma program, saving the IB teachers many hours of time. The second grant will pay for an accompanist for the live public performances now required of IB music students, while Mr. White will focus on recording the events.

Planning a B-CC High School Reunion?

School tours are a great way to augment your weekend of catching up and reliving great B-CC memories. The classes of 1960, 1970 and 1975 have already had successful tours this Fall and the classes of 1985 and 1990 are expected over the Thanksgiving weekend. If your class is exploring a donation to B-CC, the Foundation is also a conduit for class gift giving.


With your help, we fund the following Signature Programs:

The B-CC High School Educational Foundation helps all our students succeed in high school and find a pathway to college and lifelong success. We depend on the generosity of the B-CC community – alumni, faculty, parents, community members, businesses, and municipalities – to fund our three signature programs:
Time for Academic Progress offers after-school academic support to students at all levels.
CollegeTracks helps B-CC students overcome the hurdles standing between them and college. A significant number of our students don’t know how to apply to college or get financial aid.
Summer Academy is a three-week summer program that eases the transition to high school for incoming 9th grade students who have struggled academically in middle school.
The Foundation's Grants Program also funds professional development to help B-CC teachers hone their skills, equipment and supplies to improve classroom instruction, and start-up expenses for a variety of innovative programs.
