History

Each year several hundred people from our City join together to celebrate the special qualities of Berkeley, and the people who live here. This is an opportunity to recognize individuals who have contributed to our vitality of life and whose service sustain our shared values of creativity, compassion, social justice and interdependence.

At this dinner the Berkeley Community Fund is privileged to award the Benjamin Ide Wheeler Medal. In addition, the BCF recognizes an individual and an organization with a  BCF Education Award.

This event brings together an amazing cross section of Berkeley in an unparalleled dedication to people, organizations and the values we share. The dinner will be held in the fall of  2010, and the date will be announced as soon as it is finalized. All proceeds of the event are used to support the work of the Berkeley Community Fund.
