The BB&N Annual Fund is pleased to announce that we have reached 92% of the goal of $2,250,000 to date and ask for your help to reach 100%. Our team of Parent Fund Solicitors, led by our Parent Fund Executive Committee, is to be commended for their work and the dedication they have displayed throughout the year with outreach efforts by phone, email, and in person. We are extraordinarily grateful to each of them and celebrate what they have accomplished on behalf of BB&N.

As the school year begins to come to a close, we wish to thank all families for their continued support of the Annual Fund and acknowledge all of our new families this year who have elected to make BB&N one of their philanthropic priorities. We invite all families who have not yet participated in the 2009-2010 Annual Fund to consider doing so at this time. It is easier than ever to support BB&N by visiting our website at www.bbns.org/donate.

Given the current economic landscape, the Annual Fund has grown in its relevance as a critical component designated to fill the “GAP” between tuition and the actual cost of a BB&N education. Your gift today will help to fill the “GAP” which supports the academic program, arts, athletics, faculty compensation and development, and financial aid.   

The graph below represents parent participation of the Annual Fund by grade. Families with multiple BB&N students are solicited in the grade of their oldest student, but their PARTICIPATION is counted in the grades of each of their students which are reflected in the graph below.

We are grateful to all who have supported the BB&N Annual Fund and invite all families to make a defining difference with a gift of participation.

Gifts to the BB&N Annual Fund may be made online at www.bbns.org/donate, or mailed directly to: Buckingham Browne & Nichols School, 80 Gerry’s Landing Road, Cambridge, MA 02138.

If you have any questions regarding the BB&N Annual Fund or wish to make a gift of securities, kindly contact Jo-Ann Lovejoy, Director of Annual Giving: 617-800-2723 or jo-ann_lovejoy@bbns.org
