About the Beeline Bazaar
The Beeline Bazaar started more than a decade ago as an initiative led by the junior class to raise money for the student-run Community Service Endowment Fund and the traditional Junior-Senior Luncheon. In the past 17 years, the Beeline Bazaar has become a widely popular event in the Memphis community for both local vendors and shoppers. The Bazaar provides valuable, hands-on learning experiences for the students involved, teaching marketing, entrepreneurship, and event management skills to the Hutchison juniors who run the event.
The Beeline Bazaar also extends beyond Hutchison, as a majority of the proceeds are given back to the community through nonprofit grants to organizations that benefit the greater Memphis area. The money is allocated by the Hutchison Community Service Endowment Fund, which is directed by the student-run Philanthropic Literacy Board. Some of the nonprofits that we have granted money in years past include: ALLMemphis, Memphis Teacher Residency, and Memphis Recovery Center.
Four rising seniors participated in high-intensity summer programs in subjects including international studies, technological innovation and business, education, and visual arts.
Hutchison Now highlights recent graduates early in their careers who embody how a Hutchison education can lead anywhere you can imagine. We spoke with Dorothy Oehmler, who works for Mischief Comedy in London.
