The Southborough Education Foundation is getting ready to hold its big annual fundraising event – the Spelling Bee.
The 7th annual community event will take place the evening of Friday, February 28. They’ve already started getting students excited about the Spelling Bee through an art contest for the program cover.
Now they are reaching out to businesses and residents to help make the fundraiser a success by sponsoring teams, advertising in the program book or making donations.
