BPSD staffers voluntarily give to BRUW each school year. BRUW is an organization that works to improve the health, education, and financial stability of people in the area by partnering with food service charities, in-school and after-school care programs, and services for mental health, other healthcare, financial literacy, seniors, and those in crisis.

The district raised $8,915. The school with the highest donations was Hoover Elementary School. Hoover's teachers gave $1,586. Meanwhile, the Education Service Center contributed $2,630 to the cause.
