Grab your boots, we’re going back to our roots!

This spring, we’re excited to bring back BonFIRE, a beloved event from years past—reimagined to celebrate the people who ignite change in our schools and communities. BonFIRE will gather supporters, educators, and advocates for an evening of inspiration as we honor our Educator of the Year and Advocate of the Year award recipients. We will celebrate with bbq, friendship and live music by Big Time Grain Company featuring Cory Jackson, at Woodyard BBQ.
