The Campaign for Blue Ridge Community College

BRCC President, Dr. John Downey celebrates the successful campaign with Educational Foundation board members.

The “Student Focus. Community Impact” Campaign for Blue Ridge Community College successfully exceeded its ambitious $8 million goal as of February 1, 2017. Raising a total of $8,552,376 in gifts and pledges, including planned gifts, the campaign is the largest fundraising effort in the College’s 49-year history.

Tom Mendez, a current member and former chair of the BRCC Educational Foundation Board of Directors and member of the Campaign Leadership Committee said, “This success belongs to our entire community. Individuals, businesses, donors, employees….everyone really rallied around this cause of focusing on students and the impact they make in our community. It was very rewarding to hear the reasons donors chose to invest in the College. They genuinely felt a connection to the BRCC mission and are proud and passionate about the great results accomplished year after year.”

“These funds will help ensure many deserving students will have the opportunity to attend BRCC. And that they’ll have access to the best equipment and facilities,” commented BRCC President Dr. John Downey. He continued, “This campaign demonstrates the tremendous support the college enjoys in the community and is a testament to the hard work of our faculty and staff.”
