Thank You for Supporting the Buffalo Grove High School Alumni Foundation

Dear Fellow Bison,

On behalf of the Buffalo Grove High School Alumni Foundation, thank you for your incredible support of our 4th Annual Charity Golf Outing, Dinner & Silent Auction!

We are so grateful to everyone who joined us, sponsored a hole, donated an auction item, participated in the silent auction, volunteered, golfed, dined, shared our event, or contributed in any way. Your generosity and enthusiasm helped make this event a tremendous success.

Most importantly, your support allows the Buffalo Grove High School Alumni Foundation to continue our mission of Bison Helping Bison and giving back to our graduates, and the Buffalo Grove High School community.

We are incredibly fortunate to have such a strong and supportive Bison family. Events like this are possible because of the generosity of our alumni, families, friends, local businesses, and community members who continue to believe in the power of giving back.

Thank you for showing up, giving back, and helping make a difference.

With sincere appreciation,
Buffalo Grove High School Alumni Foundation�Bison Helping Bison

Thank you for being part of our Bison family!

HELP US HELP OTHERS!
The Buffalo Grove High School Alumni Foundation 501(c)3 charity was established by a group of alumni who saw the opportunity to support other Bison through financial hardship.
In the 3 years since it started, the foundation has helped several fellow graduates and their immediate family members for various difficulties such as job loss, burial expenses, medical expenses, transportation needs, and housing expenses.
Every September, we host a charity fundraiser golf outing.
But we need your help to spread awareness.
Heres how you can help:

* Invite alum to join or follow our page.
* Share our page and our website to all BG alum in your contact list, especially if you know someone who could use a little help.
* Donations are tax deductible and always welcome.

That’s all we’re asking.
Applying for a grant is easy, and discreet.
Thanks for your help!
Lets Back Thise Bison! 💙🧡🦬
