BROWARD COLLEGE NIGHT
AT REGINA’S FARM

Earlier this month, Broward College's Alumni & Friends hosted A Night Out at Regina's Farm in Fort Lauderdale, where more than 160 guests were treated to a Brazilian gastronomic experience during a special sold-out dinner hosted by Broward College Alumni & Friends at Regina’s Farm. This event raised funds for Broward College Foundation’s General Scholarship Fund. Learn more.  

We thank all our Broward College alumni and friends who joined us for this one-of-a-kind evening, who celebrated with us, and whose generosity will support the educational dreams of Broward College students.

On Giving Tuesday, the Broward College community rose to the challenge. Together, 101 supporters raised $17,754 in honor of educators making a difference in our lives. From alumni, friends, faculty and staff, students, and the generous support of BrightStar Credit Union, the enthusiasm to see the College succeed has been inspiring! 

We are so thankful for everyone who gave, shared, and spread the word about the importance of being #BCProud on #GivingTuesday.
