What is Phonathon?
Phonathon is a fundraising program at SUNY Broome Community College where our students call SUNY Broome alumni and invite them to support the SUNY Broome Annual Fund. Phonathon Callers also educate alumni about the needs that still exist for the campus and updates that are occurring and how their support makes a difference. Phonathon callers also update alumni contact information and help to answer any questions alumni may have regarding special events, programs or news at the College.
