BRUISER BEE
finds VIRTUAL SUCCESS DAYS BEFORE BRUISER BEE | TRIVIA EDITION was to be set up in the GPS main gym, the school campus closed due to the global pandemic. So instead of a trivia contest complete with decor, dinner, and donations, the Bee was canceled while the online auction went on as planned. While not ideal, the virtual event proved to raise even more money for the GPS annual Impact Fund than last year’s Bruiser Bee due to generous donors and ticket holders. Nearly twice as many auction items were donated and won, and virtual paddles were raised to bring in an additional $105,700 for the school’s science program. Huge thanks goes to the more than 50 volunteers who solicited and distributed auction items, planned for the event, and quickly regrouped to make the virtual event a success. Plus we extend our esteemed gratitude to those who supported the event with sponsorships, contributions, and donations. Your generosity will be felt by the GPS community for years to come.
