The BB&N Fund

The BB&N Fund meets pressing needs and keeps us agile and flexible. A strong BB&N Fund is the hallmark of a successful campaign as every BB&N Fund gift counts toward our campaign goal. The BB&N Fund is crucial in preparing us for both present and future needs. It stands as a testament to our institutional strength and the commitment of our community.

A healthy fund tells our community—and the wider world—that BB&N is flourishing. Increased contributions to the BB&N Fund allow us to be nimble, enterprising, and strategic in advancing our mission.

I continue to give to The BB&N Fund because my time at the school opened up opportunities that otherwise would not have existed. As the Class of ’74 celebrated our 50th Reunion, I hope our support will provide future generations of BB&N students with the opportunities afforded to me fifty years ago.

I give to BB&N every year because I know that my gift makes it possible for others like me to open their worlds in classrooms, on playing fields, on stage, and in studios and labs.

I volunteer and give back to BB&N because I want to honor all my memories but also because I know BB&N strives for continuous improvement, and I want to support their efforts to keep creating such wonderful memories for future students and making their experiences even better! I want my contributions of time and donations to allow BB&N to engage and bolster the community at-large while caring for and educating the future members of this community.

Supporting BB&N means investing in curiosity, confidence, and compassion—the values that shape tomorrow’s leaders.
