One focus, shared vision: A Night in Black & White benefits PC
For one night in April, Friartown invaded Beantown.
More than 780 Providence College alumni, friends, and corporate partners gathered for A Night in Black & White at the Boston Marriott Copley Place, raising more than $718,000 for the PC Fund and the Angel Fund — which turn PC’s shared vision into a reality for students, faculty, and the entire College community. There were even a few surprise guests in the house, including the entire NCAA Championship Friar men’s hockey team and its National Coach of the Year, Nate Leaman, along with men’s basketball Head Coach Ed Cooley.
“Over the past decade, Providence College, as an institution, has transformed itself in a truly remarkable fashion. By supporting and attending A Night in Black and White, alumni, parents, and friends of the College play a vital role in helping to fund the many initiatives that are propelling PC’s rise in stature,” said Chuck ’71 and Leslie Borkoski ’12P, event co-chairs with Jim and Teri Chisholm ’15P.
The College honored Donna ’78 and Bill ’78 Cupelo ’12P for their dedicated service to the College with the Black & White Award. In addition, longtime building partner E. Turgeon Construction, led by Francis E. Ducharme ’87P, received the Black & White Corporate Partner Award. It was A Night in Black & White to remember.
