It’s a key part of the service-oriented culture that has defined BB&T for more than 145 years.

Liz Sanchez, Chief Operating Officer Durham School Services 2019 Gala Sponsor

We greatly value what the Making Hope Happen Foundation does for the community in San Bernardino. In the words of Christine Gregoire, “Education is the foundation upon which we build our future.” Without the assistance of great organizations such as the Making Hope Happen Foundation, it is challenging to dream and hope boldly. We align ourselves with their values and hope that we can help to nurture students into becoming life-long learners.
