On April 29, 2009 the Byram Hills Education Foundation hosted our 15th annual fundraising event, “Speedway Spectacular,” at Grand Prix New York in Mount Kisco. The event was an enormous success, attracting 300 supporters. In this time of economic uncertainty, support of our children’s education is even more important. The approval in April for funding more than $245,000 in grants for the coming school year added to the celebratory mood of the evening. BHEF has now funded $2.5 million in grants since its inception in 1994.
The evening included friendly competition on the racetrack, at the silent auction tables, and for the Mercedes convertible, music from the High School Jazz Ensemble, interaction between teachers and parents, and a video display of many of the previously funded BHEF grants. Thank you to all who attended.
