Arts Dinner & Auction

Friday, April 25, 2024 | 5:30 – 9:30pm | Friedman Events Center

Save the date: the annual BVEF Arts Dinner & Auction is happening April 25! This adults-only evening event (formerly known as VOTA) is BVEF’s biggest fundraiser of the year. All proceeds benefit our district-wide art, theater, music and dance programs that don’t get state funding. This is a great opportunity to meet other district parents and relive the 80s while enjoying a night out without the kids.

  • Catered dinner
  • Live music and entertainment
  • Live and silent auctions
  • Raffles and fun games
  • And more!

Why are we partying like it’s 1989?

All proceeds from this year’s 80s-themed event go to support ART, DANCE, THEATER and MUSIC programs in our schools. BVEF is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization 501C(3) responsible for raising over $85,000 each year to provide students with hands-on instruction in the arts. California does not provide funding for arts education in Bennett Valley elementary schoolsall of the arts programs our students receive are funded by BVEF and supporters like you!

We need you!

We’re putting together an A-Team committee for this year’s BVEF Arts Dinner & Auction, and we’re looking for a few good men and women! The arts just want to have funds, y’all. So if you love party planning, love helping out your child’s school community, or just loved the 1980’s, we need you!

Pulling off this popular event is a big job, so please join us on Wednesday, February 2, at 7 PM at Los Tres Chiles for our first in-person committee meeting.
