Late last fall, when the dust finally settled on the BWNA Art & Garden Tour accounting, net proceeds from that BWNA-sponsored event totaled $1,450 — well over early estimates and all of it earmarked for donation to the Beaumont Family Resiliency Fund. Additionally, $660 secured by BWNA from Central NE Neighbors for a resiliency grant was donated to the fund.
The resiliency fund, comprised only of donations, is administered by the Beaumont Middle School PTA. It’s used by the school for families experiencing emergencies that impact a student’s well-being and ability to be successful in school.
“We truly appreciate your support,” said Dr. Harriette Vimegnon, BMS principal. “Your contributions will directly help students and families.”
Patty Nelson, BWNA board president, acknowledged BWNA’s commitment to BMS. “Our community is stronger with partnerships; we’re pleased our neighborhood association is able to help those in need.”
Patty also expressed appreciation for the B-W gardeners and artists who made the event a success. “Without these dedicated neighbors, we couldn’t have raised this money for BMS,” she said. “We hope to continue to support this worthy cause.”
