Pardon Our Dust

Over 300 donors took advantage of a special invitation to tour the new Patriots Hall Upper School building project. Although the building is still four months away from completion, the event offered supporters self-guided tours and a behind-the-scenes look at the magnificent new building. Faculty and staff were also there to answer any questions about the building.
Accompanying the event was a special announcement that the campaign recently achieved its $12 million dollar goal necessary to receive the $500,000 challenge grant. The four year, $12.5 million dollar campaign was the largest in the history of the school. A special thank you to co-chairs Dan and Carol Geenen, Jeff and Cynthia Harris, and Greg and Shobha Warren, and their volunteer team who worked diligently on behalf of the campaign. Over 1000 people donated to the campaign and many of those donors made the largest gift in their personal giving history. To all the donors and volunteers, Brookfield Academy salutes you for your generosity and commitment to the school.

As Stew Davis, Board Chair, has stated, the building of Patriots Hall and the other campus-wide initiatives associated with the Soar With The Stars...A Stellar Opportunity capital campaign are second only to the founding of the school in terms of importance and impact. While there are many additional needs that will arise as a result of the building project, all affiliated with the campaign can take a few minutes to celebrate this milestone in the history of Brookfield Academy.
