Thanks to the 231 donors who contributed $135,646, and the faculty (current and past), alumni, parents, and students who participated in our videos, BGA's first Founders Day of Giving was a tremendous success. We are so grateful for the generosity of the BGA community and the commitment to the success of our students and teachers as demonstrated by the gifts and pledges we received.
We met the 1-0-5 match challenge and ran out of t-shirts! But don't worry, we are gladly ordering more of the sizes we need. Lower School parents, t-shirts will be sent home with children beginning Monday, October 11. Middle and Upper School parents, please have your child come to Becky Rigel's office in the Glen Echo house next week (October 11-13). And for alumni, grandparents, and friends, we'll mail you your t-shirts.
Thank You to Our Founders Day Donors
