UPTON – Students from the Blackstone Valley Tech (BVT) Friends of Rachel Club and Culinary Arts program are once again hosting a series of fundraising dinners to benefit several charitable organizations and causes. The monthly dinners are held in the student-run Three Seasons Restaurant located on the BVT campus at 65 Pleasant Street in Upton, MA.
Each all-you-can-eat dinner is held on a Thursday evening and consists of a themed buffet, dessert, and beverage. Following are the remaining two dates, as well as themes and charitable causes that have been selected for the fall 2016 series of fundraising dinners:
November 10 - Roast Turkey, to benefit My One Wish

Proceeds will also benefit the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, the Be Like Brit Foundation, and the Friends of Rachel Scholarship.

The BVT Friends of Rachel Club was formed by a group of students who were inspired by a Rachel’s Challenge program presentation made during the 2010-11 school year. The program is named after Rachel Scott, who was the first person killed during the horrific massacre at Columbine High School in 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her personal diaries have become the foundation for the life-changing program which has had a profound effect on Valley Tech students. The Friends of Rachel Club formed as a means for the students to perpetuate the program’s positive message by practicing random acts of kindness.
