News & Events

On June 26, 2026, the Beatrice Educational Foundation will once again bring our community together for a day of purpose, connection, and impact at the Mickey Gleason BEF Golf Tournament. Held at the Beatrice Country Club, the tournament begins with a 10 a.m. start and carries a theme that reflects both our mission and our future: “Driving Our Legacy Forward.”

This year’s tournament honors the legacy of Mickey Gleason, a devoted and founding board member of the Foundation whose passion for education and commitment to the Beatrice community helped shape the work we continue today. While Mickey’s impact is woven into the very fabric of BEF, this event is also about looking ahead—continuing to build opportunities for students and educators for generations to come.

At the heart of the Beatrice Educational Foundation is a simple but powerful belief: “A Child’s Education is Our Legacy.” Every scholarship awarded, every classroom grant funded, and every program supported is an investment in that legacy. The golf tournament plays a vital role in making that work possible.

Participants can expect more than just a great day on the course. The tournament offers an opportunity to gather with friends, colleagues, and community supporters who share a commitment to education. Whether you are swinging a club, sponsoring a team, or volunteering your time, you are helping ensure that students in Beatrice have access to the tools, experiences, and encouragement they need to succeed.

Events like this remind us that a legacy is not something we leave behind someday—it is something we build together right now. Each drive down the fairway, each connection made, and each dollar raised helps move that legacy forward.

Join us on June 26 as we come together to celebrate community, honor a meaningful legacy, and continue Driving Our Legacy Forward—because when we invest in education, we invest in the future of Beatrice.
