A powerful voice in historical fiction, focusing on underrepresented women in history, NYT Bestselling Author, Marie Benedict returns with a sweeping tale of a young woman who unearths the truth about a forgotten Pharaoh, Hatshepsut, whose reign was bold, visionary — and nearly erased from history.

The BLOCS Gala will bring together supporters from across the state to celebrate our schools, our communities, and the power of education to shape the future.

Join us on Thursday, May 7, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. as we celebrate the impact of need-based scholarships for children.

Register today and join us Wednesday, May 27 from 12:00-1:00pm for an informative session designed to guide you through the EDS qualification process.

During this webinar, Kathleen Harvey, leading expert on the EDS program, will review the steps required to ensure your school meets all criteria, how to complete and submit the qualification forms, and key deadlines to stay on track. Kathleen will also address pre-submitted and live questions.

Additionally, she’ll briefly discuss the list of students due in September.

Webinar Wednesday takes place every month and is designed as a lunch-and-learn experience. The idea is simple: grab your lunch, log on, and join us for timely information, practical insights, and engaging conversation.

Each session will focus on relevant topics surrounding EITC, EDS, and related areas, with content tailored to what matters most to our community. We also welcome suggestions for future seminar topics and presenters as we continue to shape the series.

The BLOCS Golf Outing brings supporters, partners, and friends together on the course to raise funds for scholarships and education. It combines camaraderie, philanthropy, and a shared commitment to empowering students across the region.

Stay tuned, more details to come!
