Getting there together
Berkeley High School Development Group
35th Annual Spring Fundraiser
The Spring Event featured a provocative discussion on the state of media today featuring KQED’s Alexis Madrigal & Sasha Khokha in conversation with Berkeley High School Jacket reporters. This was a dynamic demonstration of support for our school, with Berkeley Mayor Adena Ishii, several city council and BUSD board members and, of course, incredible teachers in attendance alongside students, families, and the community at large. Together, we raised $48,000 in a single spectacular evening.
A special thank you to our host and sponsors who made this event possible!

Community Support
Berkeley businesses are an important part of the BHS community for both staff and students. Since 2010 the Spring Fundraiser has been an opportunity for local business people and friends of BHSDG to come together to raise funds for the Development Group. Each year features a guest speaker and superb food. Past speakers included Daveed Diggs, Michael Lewis, and Jennifer Doudna. In March 2022, the luncheon was re-imagined as an evening event to bring the community together after two-years on zoom. Best-selling author Peggy Orenstein and Health Educator Shafia Zaloom provided a thought-provoking conversation, Gather served delicious food, and members of the Berkeley High Jazz Band entertained the crowd.
