BCUnite 2026: The Impact of a United Community

April 16, 2026

Briar Cliff University’s annual Day of Giving, BCUnite, once again highlighted the strength of the Charger community by bringing together alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends in support of a shared mission.

Through this collective generosity, $37,455 was raised to support Briar Cliff students and programs.

This year’s BCUnite reflected both strong participation and the wide reach of the BCU family. A total of 141 donors made gifts, representing 36 alumni classes. The Class of 1999 led the way with the most gifts, underscoring the continued commitment of Briar Cliff alumni to give back and support future generations.

Support extended far beyond campus. The furthest gift traveled 1,676 miles from Salem, Oregon, a reminder that the Briar Cliff connection reaches across the country.

In total, 25 funds received support, allowing donors to give to the areas they care about most, including scholarships, academic programs, athletics, and campus initiatives. Every gift, regardless of size, plays an important role in shaping the Briar Cliff experience.

BCUnite is more than a day of giving. It reflects a community that believes in the mission of Briar Cliff University and invests in the success of its students.

Thank you to everyone who gave, shared, and supported BCUnite. Your generosity continues to make a lasting impact and helps move Briar Cliff forward.
