Upcoming Events

We held our 30th Annual Impact Awards celebration on May 3. This event honors an educator from each school in the Boulder Valley School District, and awards both an early career educator and longtime educator with individual awards. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

Social media, the pandemic, and climate change were just some of the external pressures students and parents cited during a panel discussion about the challenges facing our youth and local resources and support.

Impact on Education invited our community to shop local and support Boulder Valley public schools. Our online auction featured items and experiences generously donated by partners and friends in the community who are proud to support our students.

We invited PTO and PTA leaders across BVSD to a Parent Partnership Summit last month to help them strengthen their fundraising efforts and connect with other parent leaders to grow their impact in our schools. Representatives from the NAACP Boulder County shared resources and ideas for implementing or strengthening school DEI committees before a Q&A session with BVSD superintendent Dr. Anderson about upcoming needs and current district issues.

We are humbled by the outpouring of support we received at our annual gala, Together We Build. From the family style dining experience to the lively conversations to raising 56 paddles for our 56 schools, the evening was centered around community. Together we raised over $300,000 to help students build resilience, confidence and their path to success.

This annual event looked a little different in 2022 — Impact on Education is partnered with BVSD to recognize educators and staff from across the district at Christian Recht Field. 58 impactful educators were recognized, along with our Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Lisa Cech, and our Early Educator Award winner, Anahi Quintana.

The community joined Impact on Education for a virtual auction offering top-rated wines from around the world, fine dining experiences and more! The event was a great way to kick off your holiday shopping and an opportunity like none other to support Boulder Valley’s public schools and students.

We invited leaders of BVSD’s PTOs, PTAs and Booster Clubs to strengthen their fundraising efforts and connect with other parent leaders to grow their impact in our schools.

At our annual gala, Together We Climb, we welcomed community members to join us both in person and virtually in support of public education. Together we raised nearly $250,000 to support our local public schools!

In a normal school year, this is the time we recognize one individual from each school with an Impact Award. This, however, is not an ordinary school year, so we decided to recognize the entire BVSD community’s continued commitment to education.

Our goal was to collect 1,500 books to stock the bookshelves at the Share-a-Gift annual Holiday Toy Shop for BVSD families, but we collected well over 6,000 books in just two weeks!

We turned our annual in-person fundraiser at Frasca Food & Wine into a virtual auction offering one-of-a-kind dining experiences, top-rated wines from around the world, and more!

Over 300 people joined together virtually to support the students of Boulder Valley public schools. Thank you to our attendees, auction donors and sponsors for coming together to help us raise nearly $240,000 for the Critical Needs Fund.
