Top Stories: Show the Love Campaign

Muchas Gracias
We are having our second annual "Show the Love" campaign, which is all about thanking our donors for financially supporting our organization. Because of donors like you, we can provide scholarships to Bruins and host Latinx alumni with events all year. We were able to raise more than $70,000 this academic year! Thank you, muchas gracias, for your enduring support and cariño towards the next generation of Bruin leaders. We will be expressing our love and appreciation for you all week, kicking off on Valentine’s Day. Follow us on our social media channels for more!
