What makes the BPSF mission meaningful to you?  The passion from this group of board members to provide opportunities outside of the districts abilities is fierce and contagious! This is done with the support of our amazing staff and the community in which we LOVE! Providing opportunities within our mission and opportunities for scholarships and grants is such a great opportunity for the kids and our donors that mean so much to us!
