Cougars Night at the Hive

Get your tickets now for BCE's annual "Cougars' Night at the Hive". Come support the Charlotte Hornets as they play the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, March 8 @ 6:00. Our families will receive special pricing, early access to the arena to watch the pre-game shootaround, and those who purchase tickets early enough will be invited to go on the court before the game for a special "Fan Experience" (e.g., High Five Players). Tickets are available HERE. Contact Mr. Clutts with questions. 

Let Me Run - Coaches Needed for Spring

Do you want to help mentor boys in our community while getting some exercise and having fun? Join Let Me Run as a volunteer coach at BCE! We are looking for volunteer coaches to lead a team of 3rd-5th grade boys for the spring season, which begins in mid-March. Let Me Run is a 7-week program that uses the power of running and a comprehensive wellness curriculum to help prepare boys for the long run. It’s a great program for our boys, and we need volunteers like you to make it happen at BCE. 

Girls on the Run - Coaches Needed for Spring

Join Girls on the Run as a volunteer coach and make a difference this spring! We are looking for family members, school staff, and community volunteers to inspire 3rd to 5th grade girls through our empowering after-school program. As a coach, you’ll help build confidence, teach life skills, and foster a love for physical activity! You don’t have to be a runner to be a coach. Discover more about this rewarding opportunity HERE. Contact Allie Riley with any questions or to sign up.
