Bosom Buddies Gala

In its 23rd year, the Bosom Buddies Fundraising Gala to benefit Friends for an Earlier Breast Cancer Test continues to hold the spot as the largest fundraising event at Davidson College. The evening includes a keynote speaker, entertainment, catered dinner and drinks, and silent and live auctions. The event is planned, funded, and organized exclusively by the young women of Connor House, and hosts over 400 members of Friends, Davidson trustees, alumni, students, parents, as well as important local businesses and community members. The year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic alone, Connor raised over $97,000 for Friends.

The event has drawn the attention of the entire Davidson community and beyond and has been featured in notable media such as WBATV 3, Lake Norman Currents Magazine, The Charlotte Observer, DavidsonNews.Net, and The Huntersville Herald. In addition to media recognition, the philanthropic efforts of Connor’s young women were recognized in 2009 when Friends dedicated a $40,000 research grant in honor of Connor House.
