🐝 Come "Bee" the Difference!
Join the BPI Associate Board as we launch our year-end campaign with our Inaugural Adult Charity Spelling Bee, proudly presented by ALC Maintenance!
Expect plenty of laughs, friendly competition, and unforgettable moments. Perfect spelling? Not so much.
As we celebrate another impactful year, we're coming together one more time in 2026 to support BPI scholars and nonprofit grant recipients while raising critical funds to expand our reach and impact in 2027.
Tickets to the event are free, $20 suggested donation to compete!
Support Colorado Students
All proceeds benefit the Bates Philanthropic Initiative (BPI) and our mission to help Colorado students access educational opportunities, career pathways, and the support they need to succeed.
A special thank you to our presenting sponsor, ALC Maintenance, for making this event possible.
Spell. Laugh. Give Back.
