Please read a bit about our family in need this year:
This single mom and her children, Boy (10) and Girl (12) are truly deserving of the Best Christmas Ever. Mom grew up in the southern suburbs and has lived in neighborhoods across Minneapolis and St. Paul. She has not been able to work due to domestic violence she’s experienced in the past year. Her housing situation has been tenuous and she and her family recently stayed at a domestic violence women’s shelter in Hopkins. Through community support the family just moved into an apartment on the east side of St. Paul. Her children are settling into schools in the Hopkins area (Hopkins West and Meadowbrook) and they are looking forward to some stability and consistency in their lives.
Through this tumultuous time, Mom has consistently supported and advocated for her children. She has worked for GardaWorld security when she has been able, though recent events have prevented her from working consistently. As her nominee, I met her when she joined a community engagement project I lead at the Science Museum. The mom and other families from the metro area are collaborating with museum staff to co-design a new outdoor exhibit at the museum. Mom has joined our project meetings even through the challenges she’s been facing in her personal life. She and her children bring so much creativity and positivity to our work. Let’s open our hearts and give them the Best Christmas Ever this year.

More information will be shared in the coming months! Check out more about the organization below or by visiting their website!
Our team is pleased to announce that we have partnered with a local non-profit organization called Best Christmas Ever (BCE)! BCE surprises families during the holiday season who have fallen on tough times through no fault of their own.
Our team is looking forward to surprising a local family with a Best Christmas Ever this holiday season! We aim to raise at least $5,000 and collect ten donated gifts per family member!
The families that receive the Best Christmas Ever are chosen from nominations submitted to BCE. Nominations are open from September 1st to November 1st and can be submitted at www.BCEmovement.org.
Our team will have the opportunity to select a family in early November. After that, we will display a BCE gift tree at our local business sponsor. Community members can visit the sponsor location, grab a gift tag and purchase a present for the selected family!
Monetary donations will go towards the family's life-changing gift. This gift can help reduce the burden a family carries during difficult times. The financial gift may be used to purchase a new/used vehicle, pay medical bills, go towards their rent/mortgage, pay credit cards, pay utility bills, travel, etc. BCE does not pay phone bills, cable bills, court-related incidents, or construction projects. Additionally, BCE does not pay cash directly to families.
We cannot complete this BCE without the support of our community. Thanks in advance for your help! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me!
BEST CHRISTMAS EVER IS A 501(c)(3) NONPROFIT. TAX ID: 46-4729005.
**Disclaimer: 87% of all funds raised go directly to support your BCE Family. Funds may also be used to purchase any gifts that were not donated.
