Fundraising Highlights: A Strong Quarter of Community Support

Katrina Cardillo • July 11, 2025

BFAIR is proud to share some exciting fundraising highlights from this past quarter! Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we’ve made great strides in advancing our mission and building a brighter future for the people we serve. 

Dine to Donate – A Night to Remember 
What an amazing evening! On Wednesday, February 20th, we hosted our Dine to Donate event at Common Table Food & Drink—and it was a fantastic success. We had a great turnout, and the energy and generosity of our guests made the night truly special. A heartfelt thank you to Common Table for their warm hospitality and to everyone who came out to support us. We’re so grateful to be part of such a generous and caring community!

Community Bag Program – Simple Shopping, Big Impact 
This April, BFAIR was selected as the beneficiary of the Community Bag Programs at Stop & Shop and Big Y in North Adams. For every reusable bag purchased at these locations, $1 was donated directly to BFAIR. Thanks to community participation, we raised over $350—proof that small acts can make a big difference. Thank you for shopping with purpose and supporting inclusive opportunities for people of all abilities. 

Introducing the BFAIR Way Fund – A Legacy of Giving 
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of The BFAIR Way Fund, our new Planned Giving program. Supporters now have the opportunity to make a lasting impact by including BFAIR in their wills, trusts, or estate plans. Your legacy gift will help ensure that BFAIR can continue providing quality services to individuals with developmental disabilities and acquired brain injuries for years to come.
