BEF Day of Gratitude invited 150 student volunteers and their staff advisors to spend their Saturday making phone calls to over 5,600 donors and say “thank you.” These high school students represented 15 student-led clubs and teams from 7 high schools.
Thanks to our partner, Vernier Science Education, students spent the day in an inspirational space where they engaged in developing communications skills through personal conversations with donors and hand-addressing follow-up letters to donors if they missed them.
A simple message, really: “I am a high school volunteer for the Beaverton Education Foundation. I am calling you today to thank you for your past support that has funded programs and initiatives across the Beaverton School District for all Beaverton students! Thank you.”
From generous partners who donated meals for our students and raffle prizes at the end of each shift to the volunteers who spent the day helping students, stuffing envelopes, and offering an extra set of hands, we are full of gratitude for our community who continues to say yes when asked to help Beaverton students reach their brightest futures.
