BFAIR Annual Meeting: A Celebration of Dedication and Community

Katrina Cardillo • July 15, 2025

This year, BFAIR’s Annual Meeting took place in a more intimate setting—but our mission to honor and recognize those who make our work possible remained front and center. 


While the format may have been different, the heart of the event stayed the same. We proudly celebrated our dedicated staff, the individuals we serve, and our valued community partners for their ongoing contributions and impact. Their commitment continues to drive our success and strengthen the BFAIR community. 


We understand how meaningful it is to come together as a full organization, and we’re already looking ahead with excitement to 2026 when we plan to return to our traditional Annual Meeting format. 


A special thank you to Ryan Cowdrey of Clayson Creative for audio/visual support, Greg Nesbit Photography for capturing the event, and our talented Community Based Day Services (CBDS) participants for creating the beautiful floral centerpieces. 


Thank you for your continued support—we look forward to seeing you next year!
