Our Goals
Our goal is to be recognized as a premiere philanthropic organization in the support of minority college education. We will help build a strong, educated workforce who will give back in our communities.
THE BDSA CHANGES LIVES

“I can honestly say the BDI was the junior event that influenced me most during my junior golf career.”

“With this degree, I want to start some kind of recruiting website or a foundation that helps Native American athletes get their names out there to college coaches. I want to see Native Americans succeed. Thank you for helping fund my education so I can make my dreams come true but hopefully in the future make other people’s dreams come true. I want to see Native Americans succeed.”
