FAS Campaign Announcement
IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO PARTICIPATE!
Inspiring Students. Changing Lives!
September 19-October 26, 2007
Isn’t this what we all are trying to do? Inspire students? Change Lives? Your choice of profession and your commitment to excellence indicate you believe in the difference that education can make. Every year the Faculty, Administrators and Staff of Broward Community College show their support of higher education and our great institution by participating in the BCC Foundation’s Annual Faculty, Administrators, and Staff Campaign. Our goal this year is to increase participation to 350 and raise $64,000 college-wide!
Funds raised will ensure that we can continue to create new opportunities for our students. If you have not already done so, we ask that you consider investing in the Broward Community College Foundation today by making a gift large or small. Consider giving to one of two Funds we are trying to grow:
- The College Fund - provides general unrestricted support where the need is greatest for the college
- General Scholarship Fund - provides funds to assist our neediest students as determined by our Student Financial Services Department
- Or, select a favorite fund from a list of BCC Foundation funds BCC employees have historically contributed to.
Your generosity to help us build upon our tradition of excellence. If you have any questions, please contact Karen Guy in the BCC Foundation at 954-201-7395 or contact your Campus Team Leader:

Mission of the Broward Community College Foundation
The mission of the Broward Community College Foundation is to support the college by providing advocacy, community awareness and financial support to the college, its students, faculty, administrators and staff.
Like most missions, success is not achieved in a single moment, but with a sustained effort, careful planning and passionate commitment. In making that effort, the foundation focuses on four primary objectives:
- Raise funds for scholarships that increase access to a college education for full and part-time, deserving and qualified students;
- Raise funds to fortify a range of academic programs that improve the educational experience of students and provide cultural opportunities for the community;
- Raise funds that recognize and retain talented and distinguished professors through programs such as the Endowed Teaching Chair and the Will and Jo Holcombe Institute for Teaching and Learning Excellence;
- Raise awareness within the community of the mission and role of Broward Community College and provide opportunities to support that mission.

- Support a specific program, activity or scholarship that will enhance our standard of excellence in the classroom.

With Matching Funds - One gift has double the impact!
The State of Florida provides a dollar-for-dollar match for scholarship contributions. Your gift to the BCC Foundation can be DOUBLED. If you contribute $10 per pay check ($240 annually) to support scholarships, you can double the impact of your gift which will be matched by the State and turn into $480 when matched.
