Time is Dwindling to Order Strawberries through BHS Alumni & Friends Foundation
There are just a few days left to preorder strawberries – shipped fresh from the Carolinas – to support Bridgeport High School Alumni & Friends Foundation scholarship program.
“When the community collectively buys strawberries at our event, it helps cultivate a future with opportunities for our seniors by providing access to education and opportunities for those who might not otherwise be able to pursue their calling,” said Alumni Board President Teresa Lunsford.
Orders can be placed through Wednesday, April 30. Half flats consisting of six pints each cost $20 and a whole flat (12 pints) sells for $40. The pickup will be 12-6 p.m. Friday, May 9 at Bridgeport Veterans Memorial parking lot, just off East Main Street. There will be limited on-site sales available. To ensure you get the berries you need, pre-orders are strongly recommended. The foundation works annually with local James Goots, oiwner of Goots Produce.
The sale has traditionally been the foundation’s biggest fundraiser of the year. With fundraisers and personal donations, more than $60,000 in college scholarships are awarded by BHS Alumni & Friends Foundation to BHS seniors each year.
Orders can be placed and paid for via credit card HERE.
