Wildcat Nation, It’s Time for The Big Give Back


On June 18, 2026, Bethune-Cookman University will bring the entire Wildcat family together for The Big Give Back, a day rooted in pride, purpose, and our shared commitment to the future of B-CU.

But you do not have to wait until June 18 to make your impact.

You can give now and be part of the momentum as we prepare for a powerful day of support, celebration, and Wildcat pride.

The Big Give Back is our invitation to alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, families, churches, businesses, and friends of B-CU to go All In for the students who are carrying Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune’s legacy forward.

Every gift matters because every gift says something powerful:

I believe in B-CU.
I believe in our students.
I believe in the legacy.
I believe in what comes next.

This is more than a fundraiser. This is a moment for Wildcat Nation to show up together. Whether you are an alum giving back, a parent standing behind your student, a faculty or staff member leading by example, or a community partner investing in tomorrow’s leaders, your support helps strengthen the B-CU experience.

“Every gift made through The Big Give Back is an act of faith in our students and in the future of Bethune-Cookman University,” said Dr. Sherry Paramore. “Whether you are an alum giving back, a parent standing with your student, or a community partner investing in tomorrow’s leaders, your support helps create opportunities for Wildcats to rise, thrive, and serve.”

You can participate in three ways:

Give online: https://cookman.scalefunder.com/gday/
Give by phone: (386) 481-2950
Give in person: The BJ Moore Center, 248 N. Lincoln Street, Daytona Beach, FL 32114

Supporters are also invited to consider a leadership gift in honor of Dr. Bethune’s lifelong commitment to education, service, and transformational leadership.

The Big Give Back is June 18, 2026, but the movement starts now.

Give today. Share the campaign. Invite another Wildcat to join you.

All of Us, All In. Hail Wildcats.
