The Flagship Spring Luncheon Returns!
Join educators, families, community leaders, and partners as we come together once again for the Berkeley Public Schools Fund’s Spring Luncheon, a celebration of community powered impact and a shared investment in Berkeley’s future.
For decades, the Berkeley Public Schools Fund has worked alongside the Berkeley community to support students, strengthen schools, and expand opportunity.
This spring, we gather to honor the people behind that work and to build what comes next, together.

A Berkeley Tradition
Since 1987, the Spring Luncheon has brought our community together to celebrate the people and partnerships that shape Berkeley’s public schools.
More than an event, it reflects a shared belief that strong schools are built through collective care, collaboration, and investment.
Each year, educators, families, volunteers, community partners and local businesses gather to recognize impact and look ahead to what comes next.
This tradition continues as we come together once again, Building Berkeley Futures, Together.
