Summer Picnic 2025

BCS knows how to throw a picnic!

Our annual summer gathering this July at the Berkeley Marina was everything! A little food, some friendly competition, and the gorgeous views of the water created the perfect location for connection and celebration.

It's really all about good company. BCS scholars, their families, alumni, mentors, and staff are great folks to spend a Sunday with. It doesn't matter if you graduated ten years ago or are just starting your journey – our scholars are making moves, doing big things, and will still take time out to chill together. It was cool to see new friendships form and our community come together over cornhole, some fierce relay competition (congratulations to this year's champions!), and some good food and conversation.

These moments remind us why this community is so special. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it a day to remember.
