๐Ÿ’™ CONNECTION. COLLABORATION. COMMUNITY. ๐Ÿ’™

What an incredible day of learning, networking, and meaningful conversation right here in Battle Creek! ๐Ÿ™Œโœจ

The Battle Creek Community Foundation was thrilled to host our philanthropy colleagues from community foundations across Southwest Michigan for the bi-annual Southwest Michigan Development Gathering. ๐Ÿค๐ŸŒŽ

Throughout the day, we shared ideas, explored opportunities, learned from one another, and engaged in thoughtful dialogue about the work we do โ€” and how we can continue strengthening philanthropy and the communities we serve. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’ฌ

Thereโ€™s something powerful about bringing people together who share a commitment to making their communities stronger. When we exchange knowledge, build relationships, and collaborate across communities, EVERYONE benefits. ๐Ÿ’™

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the gathering such an energizing and productive experience! ๐Ÿ‘ Weโ€™re already looking forward to continuing the conversation at the Spring gathering, hosted by the Community Foundation for Muskegon County.

Together, weโ€™re building connections that help create lasting impact โ€” for good, forever, for all. ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿššโ˜€๏ธ THIS is what community looks like in Battle Creek!

We stopped by McCamly Park today for the final Truckinโ€™ Tuesdays of the 2026 season, and what a beautiful day to get outside, grab some lunch and enjoy our community! ๐ŸŒฎ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’š

Food trucks were lined up, people were catching up with friends and coworkers, and downtown Battle Creek was alive with another one of those simple experiences that brings people together.

At the Battle Creek Community Foundation, we love seeing people gather, local businesses connect with customers, and our public spaces filled with life. Strong communities are built in many ways โ€” and sometimes it starts with good food, a sunny afternoon and neighbors spending a little time together. โค๏ธ

Thank you to everyone who helped make Truckinโ€™ Tuesdays part of another Battle Creek summer!

๐Ÿ“ธ Here are a few scenes from today.

Were you able to make it out to Truckinโ€™ Tuesdays this summer? What was your favorite food truck? ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿคโœจ A beautiful evening. A wonderful cause. And a BCCF team proud to show up in support! โœจ๐Ÿค

The Battle Creek Community Foundation was delighted to be represented at The White Party โ€” Just Jazz Signature Fundraiser 2026, hosted by the Kalamazoo (MI) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated at the spectacular Gilmore Car Museum. ๐Ÿš˜๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ’š

BCCF President & CEO Mary Muliett , along with Lynn Ward Gray , Emily Deering-Caruso, Maya Williams, and Elizabeth Schultheiss , enjoyed an amazing evening together โ€” all while showing their support for students and the programs and initiatives that help create opportunities for young people. ๐ŸŽ“๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ“š

With an elegant sea of white, a fantastic Motown R***e, great fellowship, and plenty of fun, the evening was a beautiful reminder that supporting our communities can also mean celebrating together. ๐Ÿค๐ŸŽต๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿพโœจ

At BCCF, we believe in showing up โ€” for our students, for our community partners, and for organizations doing meaningful work throughout our region. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’š Building stronger communities happens through relationships, collaboration, and a shared commitment to helping people thrive.

Congratulations to the Kalamazoo (MI) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated on a memorable evening, and thank you for creating an opportunity to gather with purpose.

Our BCCF team certainly enjoyed the evening โ€” and they understood the assignment! ๐Ÿค๐Ÿค๐Ÿคโœจ

๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ’š Did somebody send out the SHAMROCK MYSTERY MEMO? ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ€

Because CEO Mary Muliett and Grants & Impact Manager Amber Perry clearly got the message! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™Œ

Twinning in their green tops and light pants, these two are bringing a little extra color โ€” and a whole lot of smiles โ€” to the Battle Creek Community Foundation today! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘ฏโ€โ™€๏ธโœจ

But behind the accidental coordination is something we see every day at BCCF: TEAMWORK. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’ช From leadership to grantmaking, community partnerships to creating opportunities for positive impact, it takes people working together toward one goal โ€” helping Battle Creek and Calhoun County thrive. ๐Ÿกโค๏ธ

Apparently, sometimes great minds don't just think alikeโ€ฆ they dress alike too! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ’š

Looking good, Mary and Amber! ๐Ÿ‘โœจ

๐ŸŽ‰ WHAT AN AFTERNOON FOR BATTLE CREEK! ๐ŸŽ‰

Yesterdayโ€™s Battle Creek Community Foundation Annual Meeting brought our community together in a BIG way! ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™

With rain in the forecast, we made the move inside to Kellogg Arena โ€” and what happened inside was something special. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ

Community leaders, nonprofit partners, businesses, donors, friends and neighbors filled the arena with conversation, connection, celebration and a shared commitment to the future of Battle Creek. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿฝโœจ

We celebrated people. We celebrated partnerships. We celebrated impact. And most importantly, we celebrated COMMUNITY. โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ“ธ And these photos? Theyโ€™re just the teaser.

There were so many special moments throughout the afternoon that we couldnโ€™t possibly fit them into one post.

๐Ÿ‘€ Stay close โ€” we have MUCH more from the 2026 BCCF Annual Meeting coming your way!

Because when Battle Creek comes together, good things happen. ๐ŸŒŸ
