The 2nd Annual Bobcat Networking Event - Benefiting The Joe Burrow Foundation and the Society of Alumni and Friends.
Event Vision
The Joe Burrow Foundation launched in October 2022, in parallel with The Society of Alumni & Friends Annual Event planning discussion.
The question quickly arose: How can the two organizations work together to engage Cincinnati region residents in a way never seen before, to benefit those we serve?
The answer? Mission alignment.
SAF Mission: 鈥淓mpowering opportunities by connecting ambitious students to passionate Bobcat alumni鈥
The Joe Burrow Foundation Mission: 鈥淭o provide resources and support to the underprivileged and underserved.鈥
