The Miramar College Foundation will host its flagship fundraiser, Invest in Success, from 4 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, October 16, 2025 at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse on Harbor Island. This inspiring evening will bring together leaders in philanthropy, business, and civic life to celebrate San Diego Miramar College students and invest in their futures.
The Miramar College Foundation collaborates with San Diego Miramar College to empower students to overcome barriers to achieve their educational goals and to thrive in their future lives.
While our students benefit from some of the most affordable education in the country, the skyrocketing cost of living in our region still puts a college degree out of reach for far too many. Invest in Success raises critical funds for scholarships and basic-needs support, helping bridge the gap between aspiration and achievement.
You can make a difference by joining the Foundation for this memorable evening on San Diego Bay. Connect with local changemakers and hear directly from students who have overcome barriers and achieved their goals as part of the Miramar College learning community. Tickets are on sale now.
BNBuilders has joined this year’s event as Presenting Sponsor. The San Diego Community College District recently awarded BNBuilders’ San Diego office the new Performing Arts Center and English/Gallery Building project at Miramar College as part of Measure HH, a $3.5 billion campus modernization bond approved by voters in November 2024.
“Our college has long desired a performing arts facility, and this building will be the realization of so many dreams,” said Lisa Cole-Jones, director, development and entrepreneurship, for San Diego Miramar College. “We are thankful for BNBuilders for taking their commitment to our campus a step further with their generous support of this important fundraiser, ensuring students have the support they need to be successful in their educational journeys.”
The Miramar College Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides a vital pathway for individuals and organizations to invest in the college and its students. Through these partnerships, the Foundation advances San Diego Miramar College’s promise to educate the community’s future business leaders, healthcare workers, scientists, and first responders.
