The MITRE Corporation, the host for this year’s telephone drive, has again donated use of their facilities for Bedford High School (BHS) student volunteers to seek pledges from the local community.
The Phone-A-Thon is the major fundraiser for CSF of Bedford Dollars for Scholars scholarships. More than $50,000 was raised at this event last year, and was awarded to graduating students.
If you don’t happen to get a call, your donations can still be mailed to CSF of Bedford Dollars for Scholars, PO Box 585, Bedford, MA 01730.
