PBC Alumni Association Inc. of New York (hereinafter referred to as the Association) is an independent not-forprofit organization whose purpose is to promote, develop, and execute various initiatives largely for the educational benefit of the students of Presentation Brothers College, Grenada (hereinafter referred to as PBC).
The Association was formed in 1984 with Dr. Frank Caesar as President and Mr. Jude Cameron as Secretary who served until recently as its leading executive members. Between 1984 and 1997, the association was successful in organizing activities that resulted in meaningful financial benefit for the College. However, the Association remained dormant from 1997 to 2000 due to the lack of involvement of a large cross section of the Alumni in the affairs of the Association.
Mission Statement
The Presentation Brothers’ College Alumni Association will interact with the wider community to enable the Presentation Brothers’ College to continue to offer high quality educational opportunities.
Goal
The Association’s aim is to reach as many past pupils as possible as it endeavors to give back to a “proud and valuable institution”. Initially, we expect to raise funds through membership dues and a pledge system originally instituted in 1987. The Association hopes that past pupils and friends of the College would give generously toward this effort as it strives to build a strong and cohesive support group.
Welcome to PBC Alumni Association online!
If you are visiting our site for the first time, we invite you to browse our pages and learn more about our organization and its endeavors. If you are a return visitor, we thank you for your continued interest and support. While much remains to be achieved, we cannot overlook what we have accomplished since our inception and establishment of this website.
Through membership contributions and the successful patronage of three annual fundraising events, we made meaningful contributions to the Presentation Brothers College and other causes in Grenada. September 2002 marked the opening of the new wing to the school premises, and our organization is pleased to say that we repaid the entire line of credit secured to fund this expansion.
In addition to the above accomplishment, PBCAA out-fitted two PBC students selected to try-out for the West Indies “under 19” team and provided the school with state of the art cricket, track and field, and soccer equipment. Also, to complement the needs of the new General Hospital in St George’s, PBCAA donated medical equipment to the hospital. We could not attain these accomplishments without your patronage.
We recently established a scholarship fund to help qualified students offset the cost of transportation, textbooks, and other necessities as they attend PBC. As of December 2020, we donated $15,000 towards this noble cause and are extremely motivated to continue with future disbursements.
Your donations toward these projects will be greatly appreciated and as a 501(c) (3) organization, all donations are tax-deductible. You may make a donation online by clicking on the “Make a donation” button above or you may mail your donation to our mailing address listed on this web site.
