About the Jacket Philanthropy Program: The David & Frances Brain Center for Community Engagement presents the Jacket Philanthropy Program Awards Ceremony – a culminating celebration of a semester-long service-learning and philanthropy initiative. The Jacket Philanthropy Program is a student-led philanthropy initiative implemented through academic service-learning. Students in 4 participating courses provide direct service throughout the semester to local nonprofit organizations. In addition to their service experiences, students have the opportunity to award grant funds to selected organizations. The 4 courses offered during Spring 2018 include: Health and Social Justice (Public Health), Grant Writing (English), Urban Community Life (Sociology) and Child Maltreatment (Psychology).
JPP focuses on three areas of need: children and youth programs; neighborhood development and revitalization; and hunger, homelessness and health issues. Students are responsible for developing an RFP (Request for Funding Proposal), preparing the grant proposal, and engaging in a group decision-making process to award the funds. Each class receives $5000 to distribute through selected grants.
In this 9th year of the program we will have awarded over $120,000 in grant funding to the local NEO community.
At the Award Ceremony hear reflections from BW students about their service and grant-writing experiences, and witness the awarding of $20,000 in grants to local community partners. | Buy tickets | |

In Shakespeare’s glorious second-chapter of England's Wars of the Roses, young King Henry's fierce and ambitious queen, Margaret of Anjou, leads the House of Lancaster in brutal civil wars against the House of York and its would-be-king, Richard, Duke of York. Witchcraft, demons, murders, the spectacular Jack Cade rebellion, and the introduction of Dickie the crookback prodigy (who will become the villainous Richard III) all conspire to make this play unforgettable and unmissable. | Buy tickets | |
