Bay Village Education Foundation's annual fundraiser set for Jan. 29

The Bay Village Education Foundation will host its annual fundraiser, “Creating Opportunities,” on Sunday, Jan. 29, from 5-8 p.m. at Arrabiata’s Italian Restaurant in Bay Village. This popular event, which typically sells out, will once again feature a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, “Wheelbarrow for Education” raffle, and various door prizes, all benefiting the BVEF.

BVEF is a non-profit organization that strives to enhance the learning opportunities already available to Bay Village public school students. Each year, BVEF provides funding for grants and awards to support innovative projects and programs in Bay Village schools. Over $12,000 was awarded in Nov. 2011 to exemplary educators and their enrichment projects.

Tickets for the event are $50 ($25 of which is tax-deductible) and are available at www.BayEdFoundation.org or by calling 440-892-3925. This price includes buffet dining and an open bar, as well as the opportunity to assist BVEF in its mission to support excellence in Bay Village Schools.
