Small Gestures Mean Big Impact for Beaverton Students
Wednesday, February 17th, 2021
The Beaverton community is amazingly supportive in their commitment to education. Donors like you helped fund projects and programs for 20,833 students in Beaverton schools during the last school year. Donations from as small as a nickel add up to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Beaverton students.
Are your empty cans and bottles piling up?
Deliver your returnable cans and bottles to specially marked Cans for Kids bins inside New Seasons Market stores at Cedar Hills – where BEF receives all of the proceeds or at Progress Ridge – where BEF receives a share.
Those cans and bottles add up. Since 2012 BEF donations from Cans for Kids total $173,362 – 2,624,691 cans that span 200 miles – from Beaverton to Crater Lake!
Did you know you can get even more at your favorite one-stop shop?
Fred Meyer Rewards Card members can earn rewards for themselves and for BEF too! Simply link your card to BEF (non-profit number HK006) and shop. Each purchase you make supports Beaverton students and you still earn your rewards. During last quarter, linked Fred Meyer Rewards Card members generated enough donations to BEF to support 30 students in BEF-funded projects.
Buying more online these days?
Use Amazon’s AmazonSmile with Beaverton Education Foundation as your AmazonSmile charity of choice. All orders placed through your BEF-linked AmazonSmile account provide direct support to student-engaged projects. To date, AmazonSmile has donated over $4,000 to BEF to support hands-on student learning projects.
These programs highlight the power of Beaverton’s connected community. These can only support the teachers and students in all 53 of Beaverton schools with our community partners and YOU!
