Partners in Gold Program

Two people shaking hands in front of red curtains.
 
Since 1967, this event has generated millions for undergraduate scholarships and campus projects. This is a unique opportunity for you to support and celebrate the continuing excellence of Santa Clara University.

History

The Board of Fellows has raised millions of dollars for critical campus priorities, including funding for faculty, capital projects and scholarships. The most significant, the Golden Circle Endowed Scholarship Fund established in 1997, continues to provide assistance for talented students who are among the 79% of University undergraduates who depend on financial aid. Event proceeds and our corporate sponsors continue to play a vital role in adding over $1M each year to scholarships and to the Sobrato Campus for Discovery and Innovation. 

Plans are underway for the 56th Annual Golden Circle Theatre Party, and we are actively pursuing the support of sponsors at all levels. We invite you to join our Partners in Gold sponsors for the next annual celebration. Your participation as a sponsor will enroll you as a member of the President's Club.

Benefits

Your generosity will be acknowledged before a group of influential Silicon Valley business, civic and social leaders. Your partnership will help provide a Santa Clara education to another generation of talented men and women who graduate with a level of competence, conscience and compassion that enables them to become leaders within their workplaces and communities. You will be invited to University events and you will become a member of the President's Club.
