We've established the BHEF Tributes Program as a way to show appreciation to people in your child’s educational community. Whether it’s a teacher, principal, secretary, guidance counselor, coach, cafeteria worker or custodian, BHEF Tributes are a way to show your gratitude and thanks. Tributes may be purchased at any time during the year.

For each person you honor with a donation, you will receive a Tribute Card that can be signed by you and/or your child and proudly presented to that person. There's also room for a personalized message. All donations are tax-deductible and your support will be acknowledged in the BHEF's annual brochure.
