6TH ANNUAL BARNUM BALL
Saturday, March 24, 2012 (7PM - midnight) at the Ethan Allen Hotel, Danbury
The Barnum Ball is our largest fundraiser of the year. Join your friends, neighbors, school staff and administrators for a great night that includes an open bar (7pm-9pm), dinner, dancing, plus silent and live auctions. All proceeds benefit the BEF, which supports public and private education and community initiatives in Bethel through grants to teachers, administrators and community members. You don’t want to miss playing a fun “Heads & Tails” game for a chance to win the newly released iPad!
The recipient of the first Excellence in Education Award will be announced at the Ball and will be presented with a $500 grant for their classroom and a commemorative plaque.
The auction book is now available for viewing online. Click on the link in the menu bar to see all the items offered in our silent and live auctions.
We are no longer accepting new reservations for this year's Barnum Ball. If you cannot attend but would like to make a donation, you can mail it to the BEF at PO Box 92, Bethel, CT 06801 Attn: "Barnum Ball"
