Opening Minds Campaign Surges Past $50 Million

In a surprise announcement at the end of the April 11 Celebration of Teaching Excellence program, BB&N Board of Trustees Chair Laura Hodges Taylor ’74 shared the exciting news that thanks to two extraordinary commitments received by the School earlier that week, the Opening Minds Campaign has now surpassed the $50 million mark in capital and annual gifts and pledges. 

The loud applause that greeted this news is symbolic of the deep appreciation which can be felt throughout the BB&N community, as the impact of this generosity can be seen every day on all three campuses:  a new Upper School Building for arts, academics, and gathering spaces; a stronger endowment for faculty, financial aid, and academic programs; and continued growth of the Annual Fund which provides critical support for all areas of the operating budget.

With an overall goal of $62 million, there are still many opportunities for those who have not yet participated in the Opening Minds Campaign to make a difference in BB&N’s financial strength, both current and future.  For more information on how you can help, contact Janet Rosen at janet_rosen@bbns.org or 617-800-2729.
