The current students remind me of the great times I had at BC. I like to think that my gift will impact their lives like so many other benefactors’ contributions impacted mine.

I understand the importance of scholarships and helping out those who are not able to afford college. The smallest thing you can do for one person could be the biggest thing that was ever done for them.

I hope my gift impacts BC in whichever way it will benefit the college the most. Whether it be campus repairs or a scholarship, I know BC will be a stronger institution due to my gift.

Working with phonathon, I have had the opportunity to see the generosity of our donors. I know that my gift, along with the gifts of others, will help better the experiences of incoming students just as the gifts of previous alumni did for me.
