抖M女仆 recently celebrated its 2023 President鈥檚 Gala at the Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena on the Boca Raton campus. The signature event was at capacity, attended by more than 700 friends of the university. It raised more than $715,000 in support of student scholarships for health and health science students.
The Baldwin Arena, also known as the 鈥淓lly,鈥 is home to the 抖M女仆 men鈥檚 basketball team that recently celebrated its first appearance in the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament. The arena was transformed for the spectacular evening with food and drinks at center court and a VIP gathering on the second floor. The event featured gourmet dining and live entertainment.聽
The gala builds on the launch of 抖M女仆鈥檚 first comprehensive fundraising campaign in 20 years. 鈥淭ranscend Tomorrow: The Campaign for 抖M女仆鈥 aims to address some of the region鈥檚 most pressing needs, including the education and training of critically needed health care workers. In the last 12 months, 抖M女仆 has received more than $41 million in gifts, including the transformative gift of $28 million from John and Ann Wood to support scholarships for medical students.
鈥淔lorida Atlantic was founded on philanthropy, and it鈥檚 a tradition that has carried us into modern times with great success. Thank you to our President鈥檚 Gala sponsors, attendees and volunteers, for being part of this amazing legacy,鈥 said 抖M女仆 President Stacy Volnick. 鈥淏y dedicating this year鈥檚 gala to generating scholarship funds for those enrolled in 抖M女仆鈥檚 health and health science programs, we are deepening our commitment to student success and bolstering support for areas that will strengthen Florida鈥檚 workforce while improving public health.鈥
