BEF Receives $50,000 from Intel

Thursday, January 27th, 2022

Intel announced today that Beaverton Education Foundation will receive $50,000 from its 25 for 25 campaign, celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Ronler Acres site. 

More than 6,000 Intel employees participated in the selection process, raising $150,000 for four organizations that support education, food security and economic development in the communities surrounding Ronler Acres. Intel then decided to nearly double the employee pledges to a total of $300,000. Of that, BEF will receive $50,000.

“Intel and our employees have a long history of giving back to our local communities. As we celebrate Ronler Acres’ 25th anniversary, we also celebrate our longstanding commitment to those around us,” says Ann Kelleher, executive vice president and general manager of technology development at Intel Corporation. “We are part of our community, and it’s extremely important that we give back. We look forward to a promising future in Oregon and continued engagement with our community.” 

Beaverton Education Foundation is grateful to Intel for its partnership with us since our earliest days, and for this latest donation in honor of its 25 years as a backbone of the region. With Intel’s long-standing tradition of supporting BEF, we launched and expanded our Building STEAM 4 All programming, teaching students to think critically across subjects, while delivering valuable real-world skills. Intel has also been a long-time supporter of BEF’s Kids Count summer and after school programs, creating opportunities for thousands of students of all ages. 

“Intel’s trust in BEF inspires us,” says Kristine Baggett, BEF’s executive director, “and their investment enables us to continue working toward our mission to help students across all 54 Beaverton schools learn, thrive and reach their highest potential.”
