Hello! My name is Brian Patterson, and I am a sophomore accounting major from Buffalo, N.Y. I was given the opportunity to work with the Franciscan Center for Social Concern by Alice Miller Nation, within the social media team. Throughout my time working with the team, and organization as whole, I have learned about all the great things they do. Working towards Giving Tuesday at Bonas has been very fulfilling and the community interaction on social media has been great.

Observing the hard work and effort put forth by the entire FCSC has been truly inspiring. The organizations within the Franciscan Center for Social Concern fully embody the values our university epitomize. Community service and outreach are at the center of what we value here at St. Bonaventure.

Giving Tuesday at Bonas allows the entire FCSC to function effectively and operate with helping those in need at the forefront of our values. Contributions and support for the organizations within the FCSC benefit our students, community, and faculty. Please consider supporting the Franciscan Center for Social Concern by donating during Giving Tuesday at Bonas this year!
