SBEF Signature Event Dates Announced for 2014-2015 School Year

Spring Branch Education Foundation (SBEF) has announced dates for its 2014-15 signature events. The season kicks off with an October gala and ends with the Bright Stars award event for scholarship winners, as well as Teachers and Principals of the Year.

“We begin and end the year by recognizing our legacies,” said Patty Busmire, SBEF executive board member and chair of the Special Events Committee. 

“Our second Legacies of Spring Branch Gala will recognize community leaders who support education through learning, achieving and sharing. In May 2015, we will honor our legacies of tomorrow, SBISD scholarship recipients, and some of the people who helped them along the way, our 2014-15 Teachers and Principals of the Year."

“Our events continue to grow in number and participation as our community becomes more familiar with the successful mission of SBEF,” Busmire continued. “All funds raised in our events, are used by the Foundation to fund programs that enhance the education of every student and help support every teacher in the district. Our events have something for everyone – from a fashion show to sporting clay and golf tournaments to the popular Running for the Arts. The most important aspect of all these events is that every dollar raised benefits SBISD’s 33,000 students.”
