The inaugural Broward College Foundation Philanthropy Week kicks off on September 2. This week-long initiative will celebrate our donors’ contributions and inspire students and staff to embrace and foster a culture of philanthropy within our college community. As we celebrate 64 years of transforming lives since Broward College opened its doors on September 6, 1960, we’ll also honor the generosity that makes our mission possible.

Philanthropy Week culminates on the morning of Saturday, September 7th with a BC Cares & Broward College Alumni & Friends Campus Beautification Day on Central Campus in Davie. Students, faculty, staff, donors, and the community are encouraged to show up and show off their Seahawk pride by getting involved in philanthropy to raise money for scholarships that make education accessible to all.
