Our Mission

BICS began in 2005 when four founding members organized an annual Christmas Party. This event was designed to unite families and distribute new, warm coats, as well as gifts to all children who attended.
Recognizing these growing needs, BICS was formalized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2015. The organization’s purpose is to strengthen community ties and support educational pursuits through annual events and educational award programs.
