Bently Holdings

Leap is an organization that teaches and enforces the importance of art and creativity to kids. Being artists themselves, the Bently’s both know the value of encouraging creativity when people are young. Christopher and Amber have long supported Leap and this year had the honor and fun of being judges for Leaps largest fund raising event of the year, the Sand Castle Classic. This year, 20 groups, each comprised of a team of architects, contractors and kids from each of San Francisco’s public grade schools. Creations ranged from turtles listening to iPods to steaming volcano’s demonstrating this years theme, “Nature Rocks”. It was a tough job as there were no losers. Each sand creation took away an award and every child went away with a wonderful memory of inspired creation. The day raised thousands of dollars for Leap and will enable them to continue inspiring young children to create and dream.
