With the help of over 400 donors, our Brother Martin community of current and past parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, students, friends and donors raised over $65,500 in just 24 hours!
The funds raised for our first #GiveBrotherMartin day went to the Brother Martin Fund. Why the Brother Martin Fund?
The Brother Martin Fund allows our school to facilitate reasonable tuition for all families, attract and retain quality faculty, continue to initiate advancements in technology, accommodate a low student-teacher ratio, maintain a clean and orderly environment, and provide an expanded curriculum that offers electives consistent with many college majors and to support any other operational costs. Thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends of Brother Martin, we relocated and modernized our library and renovated and expanded our Tom and Gayle Benson Mall and food services.
Throughout the #GiveBrotherMartin campaign, there was alumni and donor representation across the map! With donations spanning across the states from Oregon, California, Hawaii, Colorado, Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.
Our class leader board was neck-and-neck the whole campaign, but the Class of 1997 came out with the most donors and most funds raised for an alumni class. The classes placing second and third for most participation are the Classes of 2008 and 2002. The classes placing second and third for the most funds raised are the Classes of 1984 and 1990.
As we continue to build for the future, we thank you and we appreciate your support for our inaugural #GiveBrotherMartin campaign!
