Lynes Family Strengthens BCC Scholarships with $20,000 Gift

Daniel and Linda Lynes visited Brunswick Community College last week to present a $20,000 gift in support of student scholarships, meeting with BCC President Dr. Gene Smith and Foundation Executive Director Teresa Nelson.

The Lynes family established their endowed scholarship in 2009 and have continued investing in BCC students ever since—helping more Dolphins cross the finish line each year. Their latest gift expands opportunities for students to persist, complete, and step confidently into the workforce and further education.

“Dan and Linda are incredibly giving and genuinely care about the students they help,” said Teresa Nelson. “They take time to talk with students to get to know them and learn about their goals. That kind of relationship has a lasting effect.”
