IMPORTANT UPDATE: Postponement of Valentine’s Fundraiser

Dear BCF community,

We hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. We are writing to inform you about an important update regarding our upcoming The Many Faces of Love: A Special Valentine’s Fundraiser, which was scheduled to take place on February 14 at The Foundry. Unfortunately, due to the recent resurgence of flu, cold, and COVID cases, and current weather challenges in our community, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the event until the spring.

The safety and well-being of our community members have always been our top priority, and we believe that it is essential to take proactive measures to ensure everyone’s health. We are committed to finding a suitable date that allows us to come together and celebrate while ensuring the health and well-being of everyone involved.

We will keep you updated on any developments regarding the rescheduling of the fundraiser. Please stay tuned to our community announcements via email, social media, and our website for the latest information.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and ongoing support. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our team, who will be more than happy to assist you.

In the meantime, if you are still interested in making a donation, you can do so by clicking HERE.

Stay safe, stay warm, and let’s continue to take care of one another.

With warm regards,

Robert, Dicki, Ashlyn & Bella
