Once the clock starts, anyone can visit TheBigPayback.org and make donations to BEP during the 24-hour period.

BEP Foundation Executive Director Amelia Bozeman is enthusiastic about the opportunity.  “BEP is excited to participate in The Big Payback!  Thanks to the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, friends of BEP Foundation can support our programs such as SPARK, STEM Factor, Counselors’ Leadership Institute, and the Summer Business Camp quickly and easily.  Your financial support will enable BEP to continue to help prepare students for the workforce through our programs for teachers, students, and guidance counselors,” she said.

Gifts from BEP supporters will be boosted with funds from sponsors of The Big Payback. BEP will vie for financial incentives and additional prizes through the online leader board, which will track donations in real time.

A $2,500 prize is awarded to organizations that have raised the most during each hour of the competition. In addition, at the end of the 24-hour event, there will be a grand prize winner of $7,500, a second place winner of $3,000, and third place winner of $1,500.

Throughout the event we ask that participants spread the word by hashtagging #BEP and #BigPayback. For more information, visit TheBigPayback.org.
