Save The Date!

Join educators, families, community leaders, and partners as we come together for the Berkeley Public Schools Fund’s Spring Luncheon, a celebration of community powered impact and a community fundraiser supporting equitable public education in Berkeley.

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 Beloved Berkeley Tradition

Since 1987, the Spring Luncheon has brought our community together to celebrate Berkeley’s public schools and raise funds to support them.

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.
