(Labor Day – 12/31/18)
We invite all parents to participate in the Fall Drive every year, while BCE volunteers educate our community about BCE’s mission and the positive impact our grant makes on every child in the district. The sooner and more accurately BCE forecasts donations from our parent donor base, the more volunteer resources we can focus on non-parent sources of funding.
Donations made during the Fall Drive or anytime throughout the year count towards a family’s annual campaign donation.

BCE Read-a-thon
Congratulations Burlingame School District Students!
Our amazing student readers logged 639,821 minutes in just five days!
Equally exciting is that their Read-a-thon supporters contributed a total of $229,375,
an inspiring 15% over our goal!
McKinley once again came out ‘TOP DOG’ in the School Team Challenge
for the second year in a row. Way to go Bulldogs!
This is amazing news for our children who will benefit from every dollar contributed during Read-a-thon. Our fundraising success would not have been possible without YOU! If you missed out on the excitement, there’s still time to support Read-a-thon, click here to contribute.
