Purdys Chocolates

Every order of chocolates from the Purdys Fundraising Catalogue supports BBF as we work to support post-secondary students. From now to December 1st, you can order online and buy the perfect gift for friends, family and colleagues. Don’t forget to order some for yourself as a reward for striking so many off of your list at the same time 😉. After all orders are submitted, we will let you know how you can receive your goodies.

How to order:

  1. Go to the website  https://fundraising.purdys.com/323010-110120
  2. Join a campaign
  3. Enter 67952
  4. Sign up
  5. Look at the catalogue
  6. Use the online order form or use Marketplace (Marketplace has photos)

Gift Wrapping at Guildford Town Centre

One of BBFs earliest supporters has been the Surrey Firefighters (IAFF 1271). They presented us with a very generous offer and we have taken up the challenge. On Saturday, December 9th, Friday, December 15th, Tuesday, December 19th and Friday, December 22nd, BBF will be at Guildford Town Centre wrapping shopper’s gifts. In turn, the Surrey Firefighters are giving us 100% of the proceeds as well as a nice bonus for each day we are working.

We are still looking for volunteers to help us out during mall hours between 9:45 a.m. and 9 p.m. We especially need people between 10 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Do not worry if you do not have much experience wrapping presents. There are many YouTube videos that explain the process of gift-wrapping.

Here is a good how-to video which includes ideas for packaging odd shapes. And here’s a fun how-not-to video.

If you’re interested in this volunteering opportunity (or if you know someone who is), please

contact Tammy at tnrneuman@gmail.com

Pub Night (in lieu of our annual Banquet)

This year we will not be holding our annual Bright Futures Banquet. Instead, we are organizing our very first Pub Night, complete with food, drinks, and our traditional silent auction, raffle, and 50-50 draw! This event will probably happen in February. We will let you know details when we have them.

New and exciting changes ahead!

This year we are growing and improving how BBF operates, which will open up new and exciting

opportunities for us and our students. Stay tuned for news on this front!
