Oh, what a N-I-G-H-T-!

We are truly "hemorrhaging" gratitude!  Thank you for supporting and being a part of We B-E-E Spelling at the Knitting Factory. You guys really made it special. If you weren't there, I don't know what else to say other than you should have been. That was one helluva night!

In case you missed it, here's a few things we learned last night:

1. "Fun" is actually spelled "F-R-A-S-C-O-!" Big, BIG ups to our friends Andy Frasco and the U.N. for bringing our spellers on the stage and then bringing down the house!

2. Having a great time can do a lot of good. Ok, we kinda knew that already. But maybe it's never been that fun! Your support last night will help us to continue making special moments that have a lasting impact on the lives of young people everywhere. 

3. And on that note: we've got lots of work ahead of us. If philanthropy can look and feel like THAT, then everyone should experience it! We will be working hard to create more experiences like last night for you and the great causes we support. 

Very special thanks to our host The Knitting Factory, our official Big Winner Burger sponsor Federal Bar, Sam Adams for providing libations, and of course, our friends at Blue Engine for doing the incredible work they do to improve the education and lives of so many young people!

Much Love,

We B-E-E Spelling

We B-E-E Spelling: For iMentor on April 9th

It's been a while since we partied. But We B-E-E Spelling is back! On April 9th at Pioneers in Midtown, We B-E-E Spelling, in partnership with McGraw Hill Education, is firing up another fierce competition of word construction to benefit iMentor! iMentor is a nationwide mentorship program based in NYC that builds mentoring relationships that empower students from low-income communities to graduate high school, succeed in college, and achieve their ambitions.

This once private event is now open to the public! Limited admissions are still available. Click the DONATE tab to learn more about the event and make a contribution (all donations are 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE). We have amazing drink specials and very special guests that are sure to make this an (un)forgettable evening! 

Happy New Year!

2015 is underway and we're getting ready to roll out a new year of great fundraising events! We are busy planning for an exciting lineup of bees and we're psyched to get back into the swing of things. Check out our new promo video with footage from last year's Blue Engine event and stay tuned for updates on upcoming events!

We B-E-E Spelling is an adult spelling bee that partners with great causes to fundraise in an unconventional way. Contestants put their brains to the test and egos on the line as they get on stage one by one and attempt to spell words ranging in difficulty from 6th grade to Scripps National.
