A BB&N Annual Fund Primer

WHO:  Parents, Alumni/ae, Past Parents, Grandparents, Faculty, Staff, and Friends

WHAT:  The BB&N Annual Fund

WHEN:  2007-2008 School Year

WHERE:  Throughout the BB&N community, near and far

WHY:  It's all about the gap…that is, the gap between tuition dollars and the actual cost of educating each student. The BB&N Annual Fund exists to fill that gap and meet the annual financial needs of the school. This year the gap is $5,736.       

HOW:  Through the tireless efforts of an army of Parents, Alumni/ae, Past Parents, Grandparents, Faculty, Staff, and Friends, all working together to reach out, on all levels, to all constituencies, to ask for support of what is of greatest value to all of us…education and our children.

This year, the BB&N Annual Fund goal is $2.35 million dollars, which will fill the gap and guarantee our continued commitment to Financial Aid, Professional Development, Technology, Faculty Compensation, Academic Programs, Arts, and Athletics. In the end, the Fund plays a crucial role in continuing the tradition of excellence that all have come to expect from a BB&N education.

As we prepare to kickoff the 2007-2008 BB&N Annual Fund, kindly consider joining our outreach effort and inquiring about ways to become involved. We welcome your enthusiasm on behalf of BB&N.

Opening Minds Campaign Passes $46 Million Mark

BB&N's Opening Minds Campaign enters the third year of the public phase with nearly $46.4 million received in gifts and pledges toward a goal of $62 million. The new Upper School campus that opens to students and faculty this month was funded through generous gifts from early Campaign donors. Join us on Saturday, September 29 for the Opening Doors Celebration and Alumni/ae Homecoming to celebrate this Campaign milestone.

The Opening Minds Campaign continues to seek support for BB&N's endowment for faculty compensation and professional development, financial aid, and academic programs, as well as ongoing support for the School's operating budget through the Annual Fund. For more information about the Opening Minds Campaign, contact Janet Rosen at janet_rosen@bbns.org.
