Yes, you read that right.
All it takes is a group of passionate, energetic and committed volunteers and YOU. Together we can, and do, make it happen. Year after year, one student and family at a time, BBF has helped to create hope, allowed dreams to flourish and encouraged ambition.
With your help, we have raised enough funds to support a 5th university or college student. Applications for the BBF Bursary are coming in. While our task of going through them is a difficult one, we are excited to be able to provide the opportunity that every parent dreams of for their child.
A few weeks ago, BBF held our fourth annual Bright Futures Banquet. It was a wonderful success and we received many accolades from the attendees! Here are some of their comments…
- “I will be bringing even more friends to the banquet next year”
- “Rae-Anne is a great speaker. She tells her story with so much passion and dignity!”
- “Thank you for the most wonderful and meaningful evening”
- “Dr. Beegle’s video reminded me that everyone has a different story” (see link below)
- “It was wonderful to see so many MLAs and City Counsellors supporting BBF.”
- “The many silent auction items and raffle baskets added an air of excitement and anticipation”
- “I Iove how you use your banquest to showcase Surrey students. The artists and dancers are so talented!”
- “BBF sure knows how to put the fun in FUNDraising!!”
