BHCC Foundation 2019 Annual Gala: Students, Scholars and Stars
April 11, 2019 @ 6:00PM — 9:00PM Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Our annual fundraising event in support of student scholarships presented by The TJX Companies, Inc.
Bunker Hill Community College students have amazing stories. Their stories are hopeful; reaching to achieve a college degree, wishing for greater opportunities, dreaming of a better life for themselves and their families. Their stories are complicated and sad and sometimes, impossible. Their stories are real.
Bunker Hill Community College scholars are invincible. Their stories tell tales of overcoming obstacles such as poverty, homelessness, hunger. Their stories are of seeking refuge from evictions, escaping violence and rising above fear.
Bunker Hill Community College students and scholars are stars. Their stories are those of full scholarships to four-year institutions like Brandeis University, Boston University, Cornell University, Johnson & Wales University, MIT, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Smith College, Tufts University, Wellesley College, and Wentworth Institute of Technology. These success stories prove that academic talent is not limited to those who can afford college. Ninety-five percent of students awarded BHCC Foundation Gala scholarships complete associate degrees within two to three years.
Bunker Hill Community College students and scholars are grateful. In the words of a recent graduate:
"I want to say thank you for empowering me to achieve the kind of outcome I used to think only happened to other people."
Please consider sponsoring the 2019 Bunker Hill Community College Foundation Gala. Your support will empower students to go beyond overcoming, escaping, proving, reaching, wishing, and dreaming. Your support will help them realize what they are: Students, Scholars and Stars.
