Q:

I’m not in this Reunion cycle. Can I still attend?

A:

Yes! While this year we’re spotlighting classes ending in 0s and 5s, all alumni are warmly invited to come back to BFS for Reunion. The more, the merrier!

Q:

When is Vlad’s retirement celebration?

A:

Join us on Saturday, May 17th from 5–7 pm on the Pearl Street rooftop for Vlad’s celebration. It’s a special moment to honor his legacy and reconnect with fellow alumni.

Q:

Do I need to register for every event individually?

A:

Yes, please! Registration helps us plan for food, space, and activities. Let us know what you’re planning to attend, even if your schedule is still coming together.

Q:

Can my family come?

A:

Adult guests are welcome throughout the weekend—bring your partner, sibling, or plus-one!

Children are invited to two specific family-friendly events:

  • Friday night Alumni Basketball and Volleyball games, starting at 5:30 pm—Alumni will be playing, and families are welcome to come cheer from the sidelines.

  • Saturday from 1:30–3:30 pm is all about the kids—join us on the Pearl Street rooftop for face painting, balloon animals, music with Tony Soll, and plenty of playground fun.

Q:

How do I know if my classmates will be attending?

A:

You can see who’s coming here. Once you register, your name will appear on the list so friends and classmates can find you too!

Will my class have a specific gathering just for us?
