(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.

The Other Important Stuff:
Photo Release: By participating in the BCE Fundraising Gala on April 16, 2022 and purchasing a ticket for the same event, you voluntarily give permission to Burlingame Community for Education Foundation ("BCE") to publish images and videos taken at the event on www.bcefoundation.org and all of BCE's social media platforms. You understand that you have the option of refusing to allow images of you to be used by BCE. In order to exercise this right, you understand that you need to inform BCE of your request by sending an email to info@bcefoundation.org at least 24 hours prior to the event. By allowing BCE to use pictures taken at the event you are supporting BCE's effort to the benefit of all TK-8th grade students in the Burlingame School District. Thank you for your support!
Gift Listing Policy: Auction purchases, tickets, and auction donations raise money for BCE but do not count toward a family's annual campaign donation. Only donations made during the live auction's Fund-A-Need/Fund-A-Dream count toward a family's annual campaign donation. BCE will provide additional recognition space in the annual report for high value auction donations and purchases that generate more than $3,000 for BCE.
Note: Proof of vaccination with government-issued photo ID will be required ahead of the event.
Note about COVID-19
An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. Although BCE has instituted reasonable practices in an attempt to lessen or reduce the spread of COVID-19, BCE cannot guarantee that you will never get exposed to the virus or get sick from it. By attending a BCE event, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.
