Santa Clara Valley Chapter of the Brandeis National Committee

A Warm Welcome to-

All current and prospective members of the Santa Clara Valley Chapter of the Brandeis National Committee (BNC). The BNC has over 50 chapters and a national membership of 25,000. We proudly support Brandeis University, a Jewish founded, non-sectarian university which offers a top-notch education in science as well as the arts.

This year's BNC campaign, "Sustaining the Mind," focuses on raising funds for scientific research in neuroscience and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and endowing scientific scholarships.

Our chapter publishes five E-bulletins each year chock full of information about our study groups, entertaining fund-raising events and Brandeis University activities. BNC Study Groups at our chapter cover such areas as movies, books, card games, cooking, museum trips, national news, arts and crafts -- and more.
