Community ‘steps up to plate’ to help Bellevue LifeSpring
Published 9:03 am Friday, April 25, 2014
Bellevue LifeSpring is 100 years old and still going strong as it showed at the Step up to the Plate annual benefit luncheon March 27.
The event exceeded this year’s fundraising goal by raising an amazing $350,000 for Bellevue’s children and their families in need. The money raised will provide programs that feed, clothe and educate those who live in the Bellevue School District and are facing an emergency or crisis in their lives.
