TRANSFORMATIVE GIFT
 We are excited to share that philanthropist MacKenzie Scott and her husband Dan Jewett entrusted Broward College with a transformational gift of $30 million. This extraordinary support was inspired by the college’s efforts to improve economic mobility in the most challenged communities in Broward County.
As Alumni & Friends of Broward College, take pride in celebrating this recognition of the work that is happening in our community. Your support of this institution is much appreciated and surely helped us to be recognized and validated with the selection of MacKenzie Scott as a high impact organization.

THANK YOU!
 The clock is ticking for the #StartStrongBC Challenge!
Today is the last day to support the challenge to help enroll hundreds of new students at Broward College to set them on a path of empowerment.
Thanks to Helios Education Foundation matching up to $50,000 in contributions, we have the opportunity to cover the cost of a class for 250 first-time-in-college students.
One class can change a person’s life. Your gift can make the difference.
Thank you to the 79 donors who have helped raise $16,311 so far!
