Mementos

The Junior College of Broward County Foundation Corporation was incorporated in 1966, but never completed its organizational activities. In 1971, the Broward Community College Foundation was incorporated and took root. Today the BCC Foundation is one of the nation's top community college foundations, with total assets of more than $55 million. The BCC Foundation was the nation's first community college foundation to complete an endowed teaching chairs campaign. In this 1990 picture, Hudson Whitley of C and S Bank (left) joins with Dr. Holcombe to present a memento to H. Wayne Huizenga for establishing the Blockbuster Entertainment Group Endowed Teaching Chair.

At the conclusion of Campaign 2000, donors were presented with specially created crystal doorknobs because their donations helped open doors to brighter futures for students. In this picture, Auto Nation's Gale Butler accepts a memento on behalf of Wayne and Marti Huizenga from Dr. Holcombe and campaign chairman Steve Berrard.

BCC Foundation Chairman Gene Whiddon presents New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner with a memento from the college.

International education has long been a focus of the college. Terri K.T. Ng Hew, president of Kalej [sic] Damansara Utama in Selangar [sic], Malaysia, presents Dr. Adams with a memento of her visit.
