BGS community raises $2.5M on Giving Day
The Brisbane Grammar School Giving Day continues to exceed expectations, with an overwhelming display of generosity and support from the BGS community, rallying together to raise over $2.5 million in 2023.
The donations supported the construction of the STEAM Precinct and the Bursary Fund.
These wonderful community contributions were complemented by a generous pledge of $1.5 million from the P&F Auxiliary. In recognition of the monumental donation from the P&F Auxiliary, one of the STEAM towers in the Atrium has been named in their honour.
Contributions from the community totalled $1,051,348 and we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who so generously donated, including those who donated major gifts between $25,000 and $250,000.
Additionally, more than 100 donors contributed $1,000 each to name a glass brick in the STEAM Precinct P&F Café.
The spirit of Giving Day was celebrated enthusiastically by staff and students alike, engaging in various fun activities and games held across the campus throughout the day. From morning greetings with big smiles and bouncy balls at the drop-off zone to friendly competition in a spirited tug-of-war match between boarders and day students, the sense of community and camaraderie was palpable.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all donors who participated in Giving Day. Every gift – big and small – makes an impact. Your generosity not only enhances the educational experience at Brisbane Grammar School but also contributes to fostering a progressive and inclusive environment, profoundly impacting the lives of BGS students.
