Building on last year’s successful return of the Gran-Bee, the Granby Education Foundation will hold the 18th Bee on Friday, April 28 at 6:30 p.m. in the GMHS auditorium. This free community event always delivers family fun so save the date for trivia, silly costumes, lots of bee puns and maybe even a little music.
This annual event is GEF’s biggest fundraiser thanks to support from the local business community. Corporate sponsors are recognized on the GEF website, in our event advertising in the Granby Drummer, at the Gran-Bee with signage and in the printed program distributed at the event.
These sponsorship dollars go directly into grants that support our schools and nonprofit organizations in developing projects such as the TV production studio at GMHS, Granby Celebrates Juneteenth arts program, the Wildflower Meadow Educational Enrichment Program and the China: From Calligraphy to Cooking program at GMMS.
The Honey Jar auction, which was added last year, is another way to support GEF’s mission to enrich lifelong learning. The board is seeking items ranging from weekend getaways and date night packages to local arts and crafts and gift cards that support small businesses. Some of the most popular items from last year’s auction were family game night and spa baskets, hands on activities such as glass blowing and kayaking, as well as gift cards from local restaurants and Apple.
