| Enrollment Fee Scale for Families with Multiple Contestants |
2008-11-27 |
Planning, building, and executing a large scale National Bible Bee is a monumental financial undertaking. Considering our goal of establishing the Bible Bee as an annual event for years to come, it is important that Bible Bee Headquarters plan well beyond this inaugural year. Annual Local Contest fees and contestant fees are just two small ways that a fraction of BBH’s overhead costs are offset. For example, the $100 registration fee that is collected from each Local Contest helps make it possible for us to provide toll-free phone support to Local Planning Committees for almost an entire year. While the required contestant enrollment fee of $20 is reasonable and affordable for families with one or two contestants, we recognize that larger families may find the expense a hindrance to participation. Bible Bee Headquarters has now approved reduced contestant fees for families with multiple contestants, as follows: Enrollment Fee Scale First Contestant: $20 Second Contestant: $15 Third-Sixth Contestant: $10 No family will pay more than $75 in enrollment fees. A family is defined as a parent/legal guardian and his/her natural and adopted children. If even reduced enrollment fees prove a hardship, we recommend that local churches, businesses, relatives, or friends be encouraged to sponsor children from large families. Often parents whose children are too old to participate in ministry opportunities such as the Bible Bee are eager to provide financial support for children and youth who otherwise would not be able to take part. |
