College Circle Renamed To ‘BF&M Circle’
Bermuda College Foundation has announced the renaming of the Bermuda College Circle to the BF&M Circle in recognition of BF&M’s ongoing generosity to the Foundation’s work in support of Bermuda College.
Garry Madeiros, Chairman of the Foundation, said, “In 2022, BF&M announced a three-year unrestricted commitment to the Foundation totaling $75,000 [$25,000 per year] to support its work in achieving a fully funded, state-of-the-art Bermuda College.
“Philanthropic partnerships, such as the one we are developing with BF&M are critical to ensuring equitable access to quality education and professional development opportunities for Bermudians. It is gratifying to be able to publicly recognise BF&M’s gift by naming one of the main campus thoroughfares in their honour.”
