The Brevard Schools Foundation is seeking sponsors for the 2020 ABC Awards as the foundation Applauds Brevard’s Champions at the biggest educational event of the year – The ABC Awards.

Honorees from each school and other guests were treated to a reception featuring “A Taste of Brevard Public Schools’ Culinary Arts Programs” with live entertainment at the reception and on the main stage of the King Center.

Sponsorships support this special recognition and provided a way to say thank you to those in service to our children. Community Credit Union has supported the event as the top sponsor from the beginning. Many other sponsorships are available.

“The ABC Awards is such an honor to host and allows us to come together with our community and show our appreciation for the many people who make lasting impacts in the lives of students each day,” said Janice Kershaw, President and CEO of Brevard Schools Foundation.
