What is the CBA Annual Fund?
The CBA Annual Fund is our year-long campaign to support students, strengthen brotherhood, and sustain tradition. Through the Lead the Charge. Bridge the Gap. campaign, donors help close the gap between tuition and the true cost of a CBA education, ensuring that every young man can benefit from the transformative experience that makes CBA unique.
What does the Annual Fund support?
The Annual Fund strengthens every aspect of the CBA experience, including academics, student programs, financial aid, campus resources, faith formation, athletics, and opportunities that help students grow as leaders.
