HPS Ed Foundation presents check to Beaver Creek Park

Press release

The Havre Public Schools Education Foundation Board of Directors announced they were pleased to present a $500 check to Chad Edgar, superintendent of Beaver Creek Park.

The money was a portion of the funds raised last fall from the Blue Pony Bingo fundraiser.

After consulting with Edgar several times about the best use of these funds, the foundation voted to donate it to the park with the intention of it being used for a project to prevent future fires.

Blue Pony Bingo was first sponsored by the foundation in 2016 to help raise money for the HHS marching band traveling to Washington, D.C.

The 2017 bingo was held to raise money for scholarship and small grant requests, with Jody Toner winning $1,000. Due to the devastation of the fires at that time, the Board felt it was appropriate to donate a portion of their profit to the park.

No plans have been made for a third Blue Pony Bingo fundraiser, but the board is open to requests. Directors said they appreciate the overwhelming support of the community in furthering the causes of Havre Public Schools Education Foundation.
