BVR Founders' Day

December 7, 2021

Founders’ Day is Beaver’s biggest day of giving back. 

Every year on Beaver’s Birthday, the BVR alumni community rallies together to share their BVR pride, reconnect and make contributions to the projects and programs that make Beaver, Beaver.


For the Dam Challenge

Members of the Beaver Community love to rise to a challenge. And for Founders’ Day 2021, 204 donors came together and accepted the For the Dam Challenge!

An anonymous alumni supporter gave us our biggest challenge yet:

200 donors = $25,000 Update: UNLOCKED

*Midday through the day, another alum stepped forward to double down on our goal: 

200 donors = an additional $10,000 Update: UNLOCKED
