Who We Are
The Black Business Student Association (BBSA) is a professional organization affiliated with McCombs that strives to serve African Americans and business-minded students. We focus on providing academic, professional, and social support to students as they navigate their way through college. Through hosting weekly meetings that include corporate and social networking events, BBSA intends to expand the knowledge of our campus and community on the world of business.
What We're Fundraising For
Through this fundraiser, BBSA hopes to raise money to continue its growth while providing a business-oriented environment for students at the University of Texas at Austin. We are a close-knit organization that focuses our attention on a niche group and presents them with a variety of resources to have a successful career after graduation. BBSA aims to be an organization where students can develop professionally and build relationships that will uplift each individual to reach their fullest potential. Gifts from donors will support BBSA's aspirations to become a more influential organization for students.
Your Impact
Donations made to BBSA will go right back to the students and create more opportunities for them, as they are the heart of our organization. BBSA's goals of service, unity, and achievement continue to resonate throughout the organization today because of our commitment to UT students. Each semester, we aim to increase our outreach and positively impact as many students as possible through the new events we organize. Some events in the development stage for BBSA are workshops to improve students' financial literacy, partnering with nearby high schools to inform students about business careers at an earlier age, and working with other organizations to offer more company events on a larger scale. Therefore, donors will assist BBSA in expanding the opportunities provided to the campus and community throughout the year. BBSA devises amazing ideas which we would be able to follow through on more than ever before with the help of donations.
