Everyone who helps BEAT, whether by donating time or money, is part of the Team. We try to keep track of how many hours our volunteers donate, but we only capture a fraction. Each year we record more than 300 volunteers donating over 1,000 hours for BEAT. We are deeply indebted to all of you! <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
