H.E.F. Fest serves as the primary fundraiser to support HEF’s mission, particularly the 2023 Teacher Grants Program. Your ticket includes an evening of celebration at The Vanguard—a vibrant restaurant, brewery, and distillery, where the Blue Bear All-Star Band returns to this historic venue for their lively show full of soul, R&B, pop, and funk. All ticket proceeds aid in funding this year's Teacher Grant Program.  

The Hampton Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that drives innovation, encourages creativity, expands student opportunities, and empowers educators to strengthen teaching and learning in Hampton City Schools. The funds raised annually support two primary areas: teacher grants to encourage and support teachers who are developing innovative programs for instructional strategies and student engagement; and the HCS Scholarships for graduating seniors from a Hampton City school.  

 

***All ticket sales and sponsorships benefit HEF Teacher Grants Program and other HEF Programs. All food and beverage sales will be excluded from the HEF Fest proceeds.
