On Friday, November 8, the Berkley Education Foundation held its annual golf tournament, The BEF Open. This X-Golf tournament included 10 teams competing for a big prize, food, sponsors, golf games and spectators enjoying the event. In total, The BEF Open raised $11,317.  The BEF funds four large giving initiatives: Teacher Innovation-Grants, FREE student enrichment programs and clubs, 8th grade college tours and student scholarships for the Maxfield Science Symposium. All funds raised made these giving initiatives possible.

Congratulations to the individual Golf Game winners, too!
