More than 90 community and business leaders came together on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, to support the Berkeley College Foundation in its mission to provide scholarships and support for student success. The Berkeley College Foundation’s 5th Annual Golf Outing, its largest fundraising initiative of the year, was held at Crystal Springs Golf Course in Hamburg, NJ.

“The Berkeley College Foundation thanks all of the golfers, sponsors, and volunteers who invested in the futures of Berkeley College students,” said Ellen Zitis, Executive Director, Berkeley College Foundation. “Since its inception, the Berkeley College Foundation has awarded more than $110,000 in scholarships. Because of the success of this year’s Golf Outing, we can continue to provide support to students as they pursue their academic goals.”

The BCF also awards grants to other worthy educational institutions and nonprofit organizations. In addition, the BCF launched on-campus food pantries at Berkeley College campuses in Newark and New York City, establishing a much-needed resource to address the growing economic and food insecurity challenge in higher education.
