Senior Fund
It is a tradition at Brunswick for each Senior Class to provide a meaningful parting gift to the School. This substantial gift from each senior parent commemorates and celebrates the years their son enjoyed at Brunswick. Most years have achieved 100% parent participation. Gifts to the senior fund may be eligible for a matching gift if your employer participates in such a program. For a list of matching gift participant companies, click here.
The Class of 2025
Brunswick has embarked on a broad, forward-thinking, and truly aspirational initiative, our “Ever Stronger, Ever Brunswick” Capital Campaign, with five major areas of concentration. The largest and most ambitious of those areas focuses on comprehensive renovation and enhancement of Upper School facilities. The Class of 2025 Senior Gift Committee, co-chaired by Betsy and Ed O’Reilly (P ’24, ’25) and Heliane and Andy Sieg (P ’25) is working to raise $2.0 million in support of applying the finishing touches to the enhancement and transformation of Upper School spaces, both indoors and outdoors, in which students will spend some of the most important educational years of their lives. Our collective senior gifts will have a profound and lasting impact on the most important constituents, the boys!
Pledges to the Class of 2025 Senior Gift will be counted toward our “Ever Stronger, Ever Brunswick” Capital Campaign. And, in recognition of and gratitude for our efforts, and to pay tribute to our graduating sons, a new cupola atop the Maher Avenue building will be named in honor of the Class of 2025. A plaque honoring the class will be installed within view of the new cupola and proximate to the Maher Avenue entrance.
