We believe in making a difference through volunteering and community service.

We did it! The Bement Gives Back Challenge 2020 is finished, and we're happy to report the final results:

Participants from all corners of our community -- alumni, students, parents, faculty and staff, and grandparents, past and present -- volunteered 216 hours during the month of December 2020! Thanks to the generosity of the matching donors, we increased the match to $100 for each hour volunteered. These volunteers raised an extra $21,600 for Bement in volunteer hour matches, and this is in addition to their personal donations!

Thank you to everyone who participated, and to our generous matching donors!
