The Bridge Teen Center and The Bridge Thrift Store are pleased to announce that the "Drive Out Bullying" initiative will be held again this October in honor of National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month. Whether sponsoring, volunteering, donating goods, or shopping, there are multiple ways for you, your family or your business to support this important campaign.

Volunteering with your family provides numerous benefits. Whether it be serving your local food pantry, animal shelter, senior citizen home, or non-profit community thrift store (how about The Bridge Thrift Store?!), all provide unique ways to give back to the community as well as opportunities for you and your family to connect in a meaningful way.

To provide as many programs and events as possible during these unusual times, we'll offer a variety of programs on Zoom. 

The Bridge has implemented new safety measures to provide a safe and healthy experience for students during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

We wanted to bring a special edition of our Parent Newsletter to you during this unprecedented time. We hope what we have gathered provides you and your family with helpful tips, things to ponder, and encouragement for your soul. Click here to read.

In total, our annual Chefs' Auction fundraiser raised over $193,000 which will provide 640 students with unlimited access to The Bridge Teen Center for one full year. All proceeds from the event supported the 350+ free holistic afterschool programs and events held every year for thousands of teens from 128 different communities.  

The friendly, energetic Chefs at Chuy’s taught students how to bake a melt-in-your-mouth sweet sponge cake, soaked in “three milks” (literal Spanish translation). Want to make this? Here is the recipe. 

This year's Chefs' Auction at Silver Lake Country Club was a huge success, raising $207,913 in support of The Bridge Teen Center's free programs. More than 420 individuals participated in the event both online and in-person. Read more here!
