It's Christian Brothers University's third annual Day of Giving and we invite you to join in on the celebration! On April 10th, we will join together as a Buc Community to raise $50,000 in just one day to support our beloved CBU.
As we celebrate Founder's Week and the work of St. John Baptist de La Salle, we reflect on the Brothers choosing Memphis in 1871. The Brothers chose this place to build a school and offer an education to all those who sought it. Christian Brothers University remains here in Memphis 153 years later to continue the work, making St. John Baptist de La Salle vision a reality.
To honor our rich history and celebrate our bright future, consider making a gift this Day of Giving towards CBU Forward. Your donation towards CBU Forward positively impacts every corner of campus. Gifts to the CBU Forward annual fund support and cultivate academic enrichment.
The areas that are supported by CBU Forward include:
- Academic Enrichment: A well-rounded education is about more than textbooks and lectures. CBU Forward provides support for unique academic enrichment opportunities in every department including the Plough Library.
- Scholarships: More than 99% of CBU students receive institutional aid in the form of scholarships and grants.
- Student Life: Life on a college campus is about caring for the whole self. Student life supports health care, career services, social services, and more.
- Campus and Facilities: CBU is located on a beautiful 75-acre wooded campus with more than 30 buildings and facilities. CBU Forward ensures that these assets are maintained and upgraded as needed.
- Athletics: The CBU Athletic Department manages team and club sports as well as intramurals and other activities. The opportunity to play supports physical and personal development of our athletes.
From scholarships and student internships to facilities and athletic equipment, the CBU Forward annual fund allows us to take the campus experience beyond the classroom and allows opportunity for all of our students. All gifts to CBU from supporters like you make CBU an affordable institution and better prepare our students for their careers and lives.
