The Boca Chamber’s Golden Bell Education Foundation (Golden Bell) is celebrating its 30th year of operation! As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, it exists for the sole purpose of supporting the Boca Raton public school system and administering educational programs that promote business skills and workforce readiness . Established in 1991, Golden Bell has granted over $1 .7 Million since its inception, and has impacted 800,000 students in grades K-12 . Each year, we invite all Boca Raton public schools to submit applications for a Golden Bell grant .

All of this is not possible without those who generously donate . Partners, sponsors, and individual donors have helped us continue making our schools in Boca Raton A-rated, and our Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!)students the future leaders of tomorrow . Our biggest fundraiser is our annual Battle of the Bands competition where local business professionals, who have little to no musical background, turn themselves into rock stars as they help raise money for the public schools of Boca Raton .
