Andrew Dawson was a beloved student at Bethany School and the son of one of our former long-term administrators. Bethany was truly his home away from home, and he found joy in his time here. Unfortunately, Andrew passed away far too soon, but in his memory, the Dawson family launched a fund that will change lives for generations to come-the Andrew Dawson Memorial Fund.

With the Andrew Dawson Financial Aid Fund, we can offer resources to families who might not otherwise be able to afford a Bethany School education. We believe that every child deserves an education that inspires them, challenges them, and helps them grow into the best version of themselves.

Every year, the entire Bethany School community – past and present – comes together for a Spring event to raise funds and awareness for the Andrew Dawson Financial Aid Fund. We are excited to renew this tradition with The Bluehawk Walk, scheduled for Friday, May 1st.

We need our students’ help!

We have an ambitious goal of raising $40,000 this year to go directly to student financial aid. We want to challenge each student to raise at least $250!

Through the help and support of their friends and family, we are asking our students to seek out sponsorships for their participation in this event, using an online system called MyBooster. For those who participated in The Glow Run last year, this is the same online platform.

Attached to this form is an information sheet that outlines all of the steps in the registration process and how to share this opportunity with all of the special people in your student’s life.

Who could they ask to sponsor?

Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, friends-anyone who would want to see your child be successful in his or her fundraising goals!
