2027 Spring Community Fundraiser
Join us for an engaging evening with Anna Lappé, acclaimed author, environmental advocate, Executive Director of the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, and Berkeley High parent. Anna will be joined in conversation by Berkeley High students tackling climate change, food insecurity, and environmental justice in our community. Together, they'll explore how local action, fresh thinking, and the energy of a new generation can help build healthier communities and a more equitable, sustainable future.
Sponsorships and ticket purchases directly support the Berkeley High School Development Group’s work to strengthen the educational experience for all Berkeley High School students. With your support, we fund projects that advance equitable access, strengthen academic excellence, support student well-being, and elevate student voices.

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.
