2026 Off to the Races Results Are In

The Berkley Education Foundation held its 17th annual Off to the Races fundraiser on Saturday, March 21, 2026 at Red Run Golf Club in Royal Oak. The BEF would like to thank all who attended the event, donated, bought horses, sponsored the event, bet on horses and bid on auction items.

 

This year’s Off to the Races event raised $78,506.75, surpassing the goal of $75,000. BEF Executive Director, Jessica Stilger, said to those who supported the event, “With all your support we can continue to fund the #BerkleyDifference and provide enriching experiences for all Berkley Schools students. Thank you!” Every dollar the BEF raises during Off to the Races supports teacher innovation-grants, the elementary enrichment program, student scholarships and the 8th grade college tour.

 

The Off to the Races Buy Now Sale is now open!

Just a few items remain in the silent auction. The community is welcome to take a look to help the BEF raise even MORE funds for Berkley Schools students!

 

Congratulations to the Golden Race winner Adam Clous!

Adam will work with Magical Memory Planners to plan a vacation and the BEF will fund $3,000 of the trip.
