Support The Legacy Work of Dr. Bethune

Your generous support empowers Bethune-Cookman University students to honor Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune's legacy of "living and serving" by making a lasting impact in Daytona Beach and beyond. When you invest in the Office of Community Engagement and Strategic Partnerships, you enable student service by providing transportation, materials, and resources for community projects; fund transformative alternative break experiences; strengthen partnerships between BCU and local organizations; and help develop future leaders who gain hands-on experience in education, health, economic development, and social justice. Your gift directly addresses critical community needs while preparing the next generation of servant leaders to complete the work Dr. Bethune began—building a world of peace, progress, brotherhood, and love.
