Hi everyone!

My name is Maddie Gilbert and I am a senior Inclusive Childhood Education major at St. Bonaventure. I have been involved with the Franciscan Center for Social Concern for three years now. Specifically, I have been very involved with Bona Buddies. This year, the FCSC will be working together alongside Club sports to raise money for our respective organizations. The money we receive on Giving Tuesday and leading up to it greatly impacts how we are able to run our clubs from year to year. This is why we need your help! Your donations are the reason all of our clubs get to keep making an impact on not just Bonaventure students but also the lives of animals and younger students in the area as well. 

Bona Buddies has become a huge part of my life at St. Bonaventure. It is a youth mentoring program for students in our local area. They have the opportunity to come to campus and be matched with a college student as their mentor. I have had the privilege of being on the coordinator team for two years now. This means that I am able to help ensure that our club continues to run as smoothly as possible. Our club makes such an impact on the lives of young, local students. Please consider supporting us by donating to the FCSC. Every penny is so so appreciated!!

Thank you so so much for your support!
