To kick off the Holiday Season BPM coordinates an annual Thanksgiving Card Artwork contest. We partner with 3 local elementary schools whose classrooms devote a few art lessons to designing a Thanksgiving Card that embodies the full meaning of Thanksgiving.
The schools submit their artwork to BPM and employees vote on a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner for each school. We then feature the 1st place winner from each school on the cover of our annual BPM Thanksgiving Card with a note recognizing the artist and school. In addition, winning artists receive a special art gift box and their original art is professionally framed and presented to them during a school assembly.
To foster development of creative arts throughout the year, BPM makes a donation to each of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner’s classrooms.
