NEW THIS YEAR 

Online Auction & Special Online Preview!
On April 19, 2013, Bridges will open its first online auction. This year all Bridges families will have the opportunity to bid on the faculty donations. These special activities hosted by Bridges teachers, counselors and administrators for our students are always very popular and now everyone will be able to bid on these items.

The online auction will also include a special preview of all items that will be available for bidding at the silent and live auctions including special “buy it now” pricing for long-distance relatives who want to support Bridges Middle School. 

This online auction will close on May 4, 2013.  Winners will be posted at the Gala on Sunday, May 19, 2013.

 
2013 BMS “Transformations” Fundraising Gala
Sunday, May 19, 2013

The 2013 “Transformations” Fundraising Gala promises to be unforgettably fun with all proceeds directly benefiting the academic, social thinking and financial aid programs of Bridges Middle School.

Gala attendees will enjoy an exhilarating dinner cruise through the waters of Portland, Oregon, with fine dining and a view of the downtown skyline aboard this exclusive Portland Spirit benefit cruise! The Portland Spirit will pass along the downtown area, exposing amazing views of the city that just can't be found on dry land! We will cruise upstream through the Willamette River to the Milwaukie Basin and Lake Oswego areas near the downtown district. Eyes will fill with the breathtaking views of Portland's downtown skyline and the Cascade Mountains.

Tickets are only $40 - Click Here to Register Now!

As an independent school, we receive no tax, government or church/temple funding. Tuition and fees support approximately 80 percent of our operating expenses. The remaining 20 percent gap between what is paid in tuition and what it costs to educate our students is funded through donations and grants raised by our annual fundraising, in large part through our Annual Auction. This is the major fundraising event of the year for Bridges Middle School. This year Bridges will host three separate auction experiences on one magnificent boat!

This 2 ½ hour dinner cruise features 3 decks of fundraising fun including silent and live auctions, exciting raffles, games and a full meal in the traditional style of the great Northwest, prepared from fresh ingredients and cooked in the on board galley. The event also features full-service no-host bars on all 3 decks of the cruise with a vast wine selection to complement any meal.
