The 34th Annual Corporate Spelling Bee!
Once upon a time, the bravest spellers in East Texas grabbed their dictionaries and prepared for a battle of words…it’s time for the 2025 Spelling Bee!
The Spelling Bee is the signature fundraising event for PAVE East Texas and kicks off our annual fund campaign. With your support, you’re not just sponsoring a unique and lively event—you’re helping over 2,100 adult students take their next steps toward earning a GED, improving their English, or gaining workforce certifications. Your sponsorship ensures that these programs continue to provide life-changing opportunities for those who need them most.
Team and Sponsorship forms can be found below. This year’s theme is ONCE UPON A TIME!
If you have any questions, please reach out to Bailey Nichols, Director of Development & Communications, at bnichols@PAVEetx.org or 903-533-0330.
