The Beauvoir Benefit, a beloved annual community event, is the school’s largest fundraising event of the year. All Benefit proceeds go to the Beauvoir Scholarship Fund, which provides qualifying families with tuition assistance. From November until the night of the big event, there are many ways to be involved, including volunteering to solicit item donations for the auction, helping with class art projects, assisting with the event, and much more.
The Book Fair is a three-day event that offers the community an opportunity to peruse and purchase from a phenomenal selection of children’s literature, handpicked for Beauvoir’s readers. Many volunteers are needed to assist in setting up and restocking the Book Fair, as well as working as cashiers and selection volunteers.
The Cathedral Flower Mart is a two-day festival, held on the Cathedral grounds. Volunteers are needed to organize and run the children’s games and to sell tickets for games and rides. All proceeds go to All Hallows Guild, the non-profit entity that maintains and beautifies the Cathedral Close gardens and grounds.
