BWcares was a success! For information on how we achieved our goal, read below.
Give today…the time is now.
BWcares was launched on May 1 with the goal of bringing the BW community together by connecting, engaging and giving. Many BW alumni and friends have participated in a variety of ways, and we thank you.
When we started the campaign – thanks to a generous group of donors, our BWcares Champions – unrestricted donations made during BWcares were being matched dollar-for-dollar up to $125,000 for a total goal of $250,000.
We have good news to share… additional BWcares Champions have come forward with another $50,000 in match dollars! This means that our new campaign goal is $175,000 with an overall goal of $350,000!
We have a big challenge ahead for the remainder of the BWcares campaign, which ends on June 30. Students need your support now more than ever. Your gift is crucial to ensuring that we have a vibrant and strong BW community when students return to campus this fall.
Every gift, of any amount, will help us reach our goal.
Give today…the time is now. Thank you.

The time is now. The amount of your gift does not matter -- what matters is that our alumni and friends come together to show their support for our students who will need the encouragement of our community to ensure a successful fall semester.

I was way ahead of the game on social distancing.
And the shirt says it all. I loved BW then, and still do. It was the foundation for so many of the relationships I am cherishing during this time & is the place that holds some of my very favorite memories. I’m really feeling for those who weren’t able to finish out their college experience.

Mary Kiley, a junior exercise science major from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, shares how scholarships have made an impact on her time at BW:
“It does go a long way, and it does make an impact. I am proof of that.”
