What makes the BPSF mission meaningful to you? This organization calls to me like Smiles for Jake did. It’s an important part of our community and is all about the betterment of our citizens both young and old. I come from a teaching family and my wife and I coach in the district. I can think of no better way to help give and contribute to our district than to be a part of this organization.
