Bryant Bank 50 for 50 Challenge
Inspired by the Capstone College of Nursing’s 50th anniversary, Bryant Bank has established the Mary Harmon Bryant Memorial Scholarship, creating a lasting tribute to Mrs. Bryant’s legacy of education, service and community impact. This meaningful investment will support future nursing students as they pursue their calling to care for others.
In conjunction with the scholarship, Bryant Bank has launched the 50 for 50 Challenge, encouraging fellow supporters to make leadership gifts of $50,000 or more to advance the College’s mission. Gifts to CCN of this amount or greater that are committed between Sept. 1 and Oct. 31 will be recognized during the College’s 50th Anniversary Gala on November 5.
Together, these efforts by Bryant Bank and CCN celebrate five decades of nursing excellence while helping ensure the College remains at the forefront of nursing education and continues to meet Alabama’s growing health care workforce needs for generations to come.
