Off to the Races Recap - Berkley Education Foundation $100 Shy of $70,000 Goal!
At the March 16, 2024, Off to the Races event, the Berkley Education Foundation (BEF) raised just a hair under $70,000 to support the Berkley School District.
Off to the Races is the annual fundraiser for the BEF that is centered around simulated horse racing and a silent auction. Guests watch races, "bet" on the horses running in the races and win prizes. The event also includes an expansive silent auction (powered by mobile bidding), vacation give-away (the winner of the Golden Race took home a $2,500 vacation), connection with friends and colleagues, and most importantly, funding the #BerkleyDifference.
In its recap message to supporters, the BEF shared, “Thank you for attending, donating, buying horses, sponsoring, betting on horses, bidding on auction items and believing in what we do. With all your support we can continue to fund the #BerkleyDifference and provide enriching experiences for all Berkley Schools students. Thank you for being the #BerkleyDifference.”
