Bearden Middle School Foundation just completed its 2024 fundraising campaign, raising $68,000 to date on a goal of $50,000.
Bearden Middle School is a public school with a foundation. A foundation is created to support and enhance the educational experience for students and to raise funds and provide resources that may not be available through traditional public funding sources.
Bearden Middle Foundation engaged financial donors, in-kind sponsors, auction items, and attendees to their fundraising event.

By actively engaging in community initiatives such as the foundations created within each school organization, individuals can make a positive impact, build social connections, address particular challenges, and foster a sense of ownership.
Together, schools and individuals can create thriving communities where everyone has the chance to thrive and prosper. Even if you don’t have a family member in your local school, invest in the future by involving yourself there today.
