Each year, donations to MBEF’s Annual Appeal bring our mission to life in our Manhattan Beach schools—enriching the lives of our students today and empowering them for success tomorrow. The Annual Appeal accounts for the most significant portion of MBEF’s total funding directed towards educator positions and programs in our schools. The participation of every family in the Annual Appeal is essential to raise the millions needed to sustain the high-quality education our community expects. Every contribution—large or small—builds a stronger foundation for all MBUSD students.
