Thank you to our sponsors, supporters, awardees, alumni, and students for being part of BSCP’s 2024 Evening of Hope celebration. We are deeply grateful to all of you!

Held on Tuesday, October 22, 2024
The Seaport Hotel Boston

Each year, BSCP brings together hundreds of the most influential leaders in science, health care, biopharma, and academia for our Evening of Hope event. This celebration raises funds for BSCP’s work to diversify the biomedical sciences and health professions and close the equity gap for people of color and other marginalized groups.

Your support allows us to offer BSCP’s life-changing programs—from student conferences and science symposiums to workshops, mentoring, and internships—at no cost to participants.

Thank you for supporting the next generation of leaders in science. The future is now.
