On September 17th, BFAIR helped to plan and attended the Western MA Caring Force Rally which was the first of its kind in conjuction with other regional rallies. The rally was held at Westfield State University, celebrating DSP Week and advocating for continued funding and support for the human services sector. The event was sponsored by 18 Degrees, BFAIR, Gándara Center, MHA, and Viability.
BFAIR’s Redemption Center provides meaningful work opportunities for individuals with disabilities while serving Northern Berkshire County. Individuals gain experience in customer service, sorting, processing, and cash transactions under the guidance of an Employment Coach.
From November 1st – December 31st, our Heart of BFAIR Campaign raised over $33,000 to promote accessibility, independence, and enhance program resources for over 400 people served by BFAIR.
BFAIR participated in Giving Tuesday on December 3, 2024, raising over $8,000 with the support of staff, families, and community partners. A big thank you to Adams Community Bank for their generous contribution as our matching sponsor!
Held on October 25th at The Williams Inn, the event held to celebrate BFAIR’s 30th Anniversary, the event brought together over 125 guests, sponsors, and community members who embraced the nostalgic atmosphere with 90s-inspired attire, music, and activities. DJ MusiChris kept the dance floor alive, and guests enjoyed interactive experiences including a photo booth, raffle, and silent auction.
As we reflect on the past several months, I am incredibly proud of the achievements, milestones, and unwavering dedication demonstrated by our staff, supporters, and community partners.
