To celebrate our founder, Grace Bement’s 146th birthday we are looking for 146 donors in 100 hours!
The performing arts are an important aspect of the Bement experience (and have been since the start as Grace was previously a “dramatics” instructor). That’s where we will shine the spotlight this year, as your donation will help provide upgrades in the Barn including…you guessed it…a spotlight (and other increased lighting and sound functions).
Help us celebrate Grace Bement’s lasting legacy by making a gift today!
