Catch & Release is Bright Futures’ signature annual fundraiser. A school of generous “Fish”—our community members—are “caught” and challenged to raise $1,000 to earn their release back into the sea.

To support one of our Fish, please use the Bright Futures PayPal link on this page.

Thank you for your support of Bright Futures!

Bright Futures Beaufort County’s mission is to help meet the needs of students in Beaufort County Schools. Bright Futures Beaufort County works within the Beaufort County School District to connect student needs with existing community resources. The Bright Futures model brings together businesses, human service agencies, faith-based organizations, and parent groups and partners them with schools in a way that helps them to quickly and efficiently meet students’ basic needs – often within 24 hours. This enables students and teachers to focus on education and achieving success. Bright Futures Beaufort County works to create an environment where education is valued and responsibility for student success is shared. Bright Futures operates under the belief that when a community invests its time, talent, and treasure into its schools, students are more likely to stay in school through graduation, have a higher degree of self-worth and confidence, and set and reach goals for the future. In turn, these students grow up to be better neighbors, quality employees, and impactful leaders in their communities.
