Best Christmas Ever (BCE) is a local-based non-profit that partners with business leaders and communities to lift up families who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own by giving them a surprise and personal Best Christmas Ever! We find these families though nominations from their community. Having started with just one family in 2011, BCE has doubled the number of families to receive the Best Christmas Ever each year and with such amazing response from the community, BCE has continued to expand across the United States, into Canada and Costa Rica! Best Christmas Ever (BCE) partners with small businesses as well as some of the most well-known organizations in the country, such as the MN Vikings to create not only an unforgettable moment and evening for these families, but to come alongside them with the intent to set them up for long-term success and well-being. Our goals are to 1) continue to increase the number of families to receive the Best Christmas Ever each year 2) deepen our partnerships with, and inspire small, medium, and large organizations to make a life-altering impact on families in their towns and cities, 3) Continue to develop the BCE Family Pillars to create long-term consistency and success in the families' Faith, Family, Finance, and Health, and 4) take BCE to a global level, breaking down borders and lifting up families who have fallen on hard times all around the world! A family that would qualify to receive a Best Christmas Ever has unfortunately experienced something this year that would have made this Christmas especially difficult, they have school-aged children in the home, and they have been nominated by somebody else, since this must be a complete surprise. Family nominations are accepted from September 1st through November 15th at www.bcemovement.org.
