"I give because if not me then who? I believe that I have an obligation to my community and ensure that they are successful without the financial burden that many of us carry. I want to see the generations after me understand the importance of giving back and recognizing that even a small contribution can make a big difference." - Maya Graham '13, BAC Member

"I give to the BAC scholarship because I am grateful to have attended such a fine institution and would like to ensure a student would feel the same level of support and encouragement from like-minded individuals. If I were a student receiving the scholarship, I would feel grateful for the BAC in their support of me on my educational journey." - Kim Couthen '91, BAC President Elect
