Volunteer Appreciation Day 2026

Our volunteers truly keep us moving forward, and we are so grateful for the passion and dedication they bring to BFF! 

At our recent Volunteer Appreciation Event, we celebrated the incredible individuals who give their time and energy to support our students and mission. This school year alone, our volunteers have already dedicated more than 3,600 hours of service, making a lasting impact through their consistency and commitment.

We recognized our Top 10 volunteers for their outstanding service and the many hours they have contributed throughout the year. We also recognized AvalonBay Communities, Enterprise Mobility, and The Boca Raton for their many years of dedicated service and support.

We are so thankful for every single volunteer and partner: we couldn’t do this work without you!
