Fundraising

The BECC relies on your help to make each year successful.  Tuition does not cover the full cost of providing care for your children!  Here are some simple ways you can help our school be the best that it can be.  

Returnable Bottles & Cans Drive

You can leave your returnable cans and bottles in the front entryway of the school.  We regularly return them to Bennington Beverage Outlet and receive 20% above the refund amount.  We also return water bottles to Nickelback Redemption in Hoosick Falls.  Last year we raised $961 – wouldn’t it be great if we could beat that this year?!

Textiles Drive

Throughout the year, as you are changing your wardrobe for the upcoming season, we would love to collect your unwanted textiles - all clothing, shoes, purses, belts, bedding, etc. Items can be dropped off at any time throughout the year.  We have a collection bin behind our building, but if you have children’s clothing/shoes/crib sheets and/or sneakers (especially adult sneakers) we would like those items dropped off at the front door.  Through consigning and recycling clothing and shoes last year we raised $2025!

Amazon Wishlist

We have an Amazon Wish List that we continuously update with things that we regularly need or want for our school.

Hannaford Gift Card Program

You can turn everyday expenditures at Hannaford into cash for the BECC.   We purchase gift cards in bulk at a 5% discount and then sell them to you. If interested in purchasing a card, please see or contact Alyson.  We regularly order cards in increments of $100 and $200 but could do other amounts with advance notice.
