THE GIVEBAC
The GiveBAC is focused on reconnecting Private School Alumni, specifically former members of the Black Awareness Club, for a good time and a good cause.
The goal of this event is to gather Black Alumni and make new memories while raising funds for our GiveBAC Scholarship. The scholarship is awarded to either:
a current student
recent high-school graduate
who is connected to one of the network institutions and Black affinity group.
The GiveBAC was first hosted in 2017! At that time, the recipient, a 2016 Roland Park Country School Graduate, was a student at Temple University and used the $500 scholarship to purchase books for that semester.
