The BHSM Mission
BHSM is a 501(c)(3) approved organization (EIN 45-3973220) that provides college education funding for children who have lost a parent.
Our mission started in 2012 after a beloved community member, Tom Reilly, suddenly passed away, leaving behind his wife and four young children. Tom was a man who gave his all to the community, and in his honor, we strive to continue that tradition of caring for others. Our logo was inspired by his music and carpentry skills while also highlighting his generous heart while providing for those in need.
What makes BHSM unique is our “pay it forward” model that requires all children who receive assistance to pay it forward by fundraising and creating events for future families. Each year these families come back with a bigger and stronger desire to create positive change for others who are going through a similar loss.
Our Annual Event
Our primary fundraising occurs around an annual walk that brings together families, friends, local businesses, and community members for a day of food, fun, walking, and music. All funds raised for and during this day directly support our mission of providing education funding to children who have lost a parent.
Join us for our 12th Annual Walk!
