I wanna send a heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in our fundraiser for BBA! Cannot say how overwhelmed with the support of the Beecher Business Community, as well as the support of the business community in the area! And to BBA family your support, time and generosity is what makes this all happen! We have so many businesses to shout out still!

We are coming off spring break and ready to put the next 2 months of work in with kids! Now the grind begins to get these kids prepared for next year!
