Dear BHS Community,

Below is a list of Bay Area companies who are leaders in philanthropy. We are looking for Corporate Sponsors and Business Partners for our gala/auction in March. Do you have a connection with any of these companies or others? We have found that personal connections make a bigger difference than anything else in the area of giving. If you can give us a name to contact we will do the legwork. Money raised from our annual BHS Live! event goes directly to the Development Group and from there to help fill the gaps in the budget for our high school programs. 

We are looking for sponsorships of $200.00 to $1000.00 from our Business Partners and upwards of $2,500.00 from a Corporate Sponsor.
