Celebrating our past. Building Connections for our future.
The observance of Founder’s Day began in 1920 and is an annual celebration of BC’s heritage. The day was chosen to honor D.C. Flory’s birthday: April 3, 1854. As we embark on the annual celebration of BC's heritage and our shared memories, we look to build connections for our future on our annual Day of Giving!
Your support of Bridgewater College on Day of Giving ensures that our students have success in the classroom, on the field, in the workplace and in the world!
Join us today in building connections for current and future Eagles!
