Burqueños for Education and Empowerment (BEE) Scholarships Receives Great Turnout at Two Fundraising Events

Kelly Jo Designs by Wine and B2B Burgers Events Were a Huge Success! 

Albuquerque, NM, October 20, 2016: Beautiful portraits were created and burgers were devoured in what turned out to be a very successful one-month period of fundraising for Burqueños for Education and Empowerment (BEE) Scholarships as we partnered with both Kelly Jo Designs by Wine in late September and Bistronomy B2B: Burgers 2 Beers in early October to raise money for BEE’s third year of scholarships.

The Designs by Wine event held in late September was so successful that extra seats had to be added prior to the event. “It was great to see such a large amount of people turn out for this event. People had requested we do a Designs by Wine event again and the turnout highlighted its popularity,” said BEE’s President Matthew Salas. 

It was an equally great turnout for B2B, as the event coincided with the Balloon Fiesta, which generated a lot of traffic through the restaurant. Both events had great turnouts and community support grew larger this year as BEE prepares to issue its third round of academic scholarships.

Coming in the next couple of months, BEE will make announcements for this year’s scholarship application. BEE is excited to provide scholarships to students for a third year and is eager to see this year’s turnout exceed previous years.

Please continue to follow BEE for updates on events, news, and scholarships.

Thanks for all your support!
