Each of us is making a great investment in our son’s education and future by sending them to MBA. While the financial commitment is significant, we do not have to pay the entire cost of educating our sons. You may be aware that this year the actual cost is $20,575 even though our tuition bill is $14,575. The difference of $6,000 is supplemented by the Annual Fund and other sources. It is obvious that without the involvement of every parent, our tuition would be much higher.

Annual giving is an essential part of bridging the financial gap which provides the margin for excellence that gives us outstanding people (teachers, coaches and staff), outstanding programs that lead boys on a journey of discovery, and an outstanding sense of place with state-of-the-art facilities.

The phrase “gentleman, scholar and athlete” is not just a meaningless slogan. It represents truth to us when we realize our son’s experience at MBA consists of the balance, excellence, and a once in a lifetime educational opportunity second to none.

Help us maintain this high quality by reaching our goal for the 2004-2005 Annual Fund Campaign through our “100+” formula: 100% parent participation with every family increasing their gift by 10% or more.

Your generous expressions of support are deeply appreciated.
