Events
- Annual BVHP Back-to-School Celebration [August 18th, 2012]: BMAGIC offers children and youth, ages 5-18, new backpacks filled with essential school supplies to celebrate the beginning of the new school year. The event also serves as a community building activity where children, youth and families come together and learn about the various services CBOs in BVHP provide as well as other city agencies and service providers. We distributed 1,996 backpacks to BVHP children and youth and 100 back packs to our deserving neighbors in our surrounding communities who share a common goal in sustaining the health, vitality and safety of communities of color at our 2011 event.
- Annual BMAGIC Winter Formal [December 17, 2011]: A night dedicated to youth, by youth, to have a fun, positive, and safe winter formal dance to celebrate the end of the year and their respective accomplishments. Admission to the ball, professional pictures, prizes, and a dinner complete with sparkling cider is provided at no cost to the youth participants, their guardians, and CBOs volunteering their time to staff the event.
- Annual Children’s Book Fair : Literacy is Freedom [May 2nd, 2012]: Our fair is designed to expose children to the power of literacy. Children engage in: reading circles, musical performances, book, puppet and jewelry making workshops, face painting, meeting animals from the SF Zoo, and provided with free culturally relevant and competent books along with a fresh organic seasonal fruit snack.
