Fund raising

The foundation's annual fund-raising activity is a golf classic. The second tournament was held in 1989 at Earl Morrall's Arrowhead Golf Club in Davie. Pictured from left to right are Fred Millsaps, Earl Morrall, Dr. Holcombe, Av-Med's Ludy Price, Broward schools superintendent Sam Morgan, and Dr. Larry McFarlane, who first envisioned the idea of a fund-raising golf tournament for the college. Dr. McFarlane conducted the event for its first few years. The 1989 tournament raised more than $15,000 for scholarships and instructional aids. The tournament has also been held at Crystal Lake Country Club, the historic Fort Lauderdale Country Club, and Lago Mar Country Club.

The BCC Madrigals entertained at the "Home for the Holidays" fund-raiser at the Design Center of the Americas, which benefited the BCC and Cleveland Clinic Florida foundations.

Judy Bowen became vice president for development and executive director of the BCC Foundation as it began its $12 million Campaign 2000 in 1996, but helped reach its goal two years before the anticipated completion date. Under her guidance, the foundation's assets have reached $55 million.

The kickoff event for Campaign 2000 was the Rally for BCC at Auto Nation in Coconut Creek. WPLG─TV personality Doug Dunbar (left) and Scott Whiddon (right) greeted and interviewed Judy Bowen and donor Elsie Davie as they arrived for the festivities. The evening's entertainment included races, videos, demonstrations of pit changes, and a pit crew change.

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.
