Thanks to the generous support of our community, I'm proud to share that we set a new fundraising record of $537,000 at the 28th Annual Brunch on the Bay, the marquee benefit event for USF's Sarasota-Manatee campus.
In addition to supporting student scholarships, this year's brunch raised funds to support the construction of a new nursing/STEM building. This facility will be transformational for Sarasota-Manatee as it will double the size of the nursing program on the campus, launch new majors and help meet local demand for more nurses, business professionals, scientists and engineers. The project is being planned at the same time as the campus prepares for the construction of a new housing and student center complex, which is scheduled to open in 2024.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for some delicious cuisine and to celebrate the campus in this exciting era of growth and expansion.
