We celebrated a whopping 10 November birthdays today!
Ry Petermann was amazing, as usual.

After the impromtu dance party at the open house, we've had requests to order some boogie shoes and spice up the birthday parties.

WOW!!!!

We loved seeing everyone Saturday night at the Light Up The Manor Kick Off Party!

Great music, great prizes, great food, great conversations, great shopping and the BCM dancers had a great time gettin' down in the lounge!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the fun and all of the volunteers who made the evening possible.

The Light Up The Manor Campaign runs through New Years Eve. Our goal is to raise $60,000+ for the Resident Assistance Fund and Building Project Fund. That means that every $2500 in donations sparks one strand of lights on BCM.

We are excited to share that thanks to our sponsors and early donors we have already reached $14,753!!!!! So close to starting off with 6 strands!

Every donation, no matter the size gets us closer to being TOTALLY LIT!!!!
