Maggie Bertram Foundation for the Fine Arts

Maggie Bertram Foundation for the Fine Arts The Foundation supports fine arts education at the K-12 level. Maggie was an artist, dancer and musician who was killed March 4, 2012 in a tragic car accident.

The Maggie Bertram Foundation for the Fine Arts honors aspiring artist, musician and dancer Mairead Anne (Maggie) Bertram, who died in a tragic car accident when she was only 16 years old. A group of people who loved Maggie have pooled their talent and effort into creating the Maggie Bertram Foundation for the Fine Arts. Only 16 years old, she had a brilliant smile, engaging personality and a warm

, warm heart. She embraced the arts and excelled at them. In her honor we do fun(d)raising efforts that support fine arts education at the K-12 level in Central Illinois. Our dreams are that our efforts won't have to stop there....and you can help by participating in our events, donating to our Foundation and praying for our success. Donations may be made to:

A few months ago we announced that the 2026 MBF Irish Fest would be the last BIG Maggie Bertram Foundation fundraiser. And BIG it was! The Holy Family Men’s Club not only broke a record, they crushed a it - serving over 800 meals! I seriously don’t know how that team of volunteers does it week after week.

And since many of you have asked. I can say with great confidence that the MBF Irish Fest & Fish Fry will be back next year. Less fundraising. But still all the friends, family and fun.

Thanks to everyone who continues to believes in and supports the mission of the Maggie Bertram Foundation.
