A special thank you, huge shout out, and our deepest gratitude to several individual staff for so generously donating their time and talent above and beyond to make the BCS March Madness events not only possible but truly exceptional! Major kudos to Christina B. for her exemplary event planning and hosting both school parties, to Thomas and Jannie who were the proverbial right-hand logistics and planning support dynamic duo, making numerous pickups late unto the evening and early in the morning, to Christina, Thomas and Jannie who were the backbone for this inaugural event–giving their hearts, endless time, and talent, to Mercedes who prepared and cooked nearly 400 empanadas, and to Isabel and Jill who supported Christina in carrying out her artistic vision.
Our deepest appreciation to YWCA After School Director Janet and Assistant Direct Obie for extending their organizational and financial support as collaborators for March Madness 2019. They were involved at the beginning of March Madness 2019—giving shape to this community event!
BCS March Madness 2019 etched fond memories in our hearts and minds and will now become an annual event, a BCS tradition!
