The Beverly Connection

The Beverly Connection is a student-founded and student-run organization at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. TBC was founded by Catherine Wauters (Holy Cross 2008) during her final year. Catherine and a few other select students established The Beverly Connection as a method to drive student interest in assisting with the promotion of the Beverly School of Kenya. Since winter of 2007, The Beverly Connection has been a growing force on campus, holding benefits and fund raisers with all proceeds going toward the Beverly School of Kenya. Last spring, musician Josh Kelley (who has played with the likes of Rod Stewart, Counting Crows, and Third Eye Blind) played the Ignite Benefit Concert, where more than one thousand dollars was raised for the Beverly School of Kenya. The Beverly Connection has accomplished a great deal since it’s founding a little over two years ago. For the 2009-2010 year, TBC has great plans that include another benefit concert, charity basketball tournament, and more, with all proceeds benefiting the establishment of the Beverly School.  

Our Mission

To recognize the existing ties between the Beverly School of Kenya and the College of the Holy Cross, we the students join together to raise awareness amongst and elicit support from the Holy Cross and Worcester communities, for the Beverly School of Kenya.  Believing in the importance of education and in the power that education has to shape long-term progress and change within societies, we, the members of The Beverly Connection commit to working to spread the idea at Holy Cross of the Beverly School of Kenya as an investment in Kenya’s future through our work, and to facilitate the Beverly School itself by sponsoring fundraising activities throughout the academic year.
