Make the Pledge

10 for 10 by 2010

10 for 10 by 2010 is this year’s Campaign for Buist, annual fund drive.  We are asking every family to pledge $10 for each of the ten months their children will be in school and make their gift by the start of 2010.

The annual fund drive, along with the Auction, will be the two fundraising efforts of the Buist Foundation for the 2009-10 academic year.  The Foundation provides funds for a range of projects and activities in support of excellence in learning and quality of life at Buist Academy.  Buist’s continued participation in the International Baccalaureate program is made possible by ongoing support from the Foundation.  The recent installation of classroom ’smart boards’ and carpet replacement in several classrooms was made possible through funding from the foundation.

This year year, 60% of the money raised through 10 for 10 by 2010 supports the annual costs of the International Baccalaureate program and special projects.  The next 35% of the money raised will go to building the Foundation’s endowment to support student and faculty enrichment projects.  The remaining 5% will cover administrative costs.

We know the value our children and our families receive from an education at Buist.  Together we can help Buist become an even better place for our children to learn and grow.

Please make it 10 for 10 by 2010!

This is a reminder that the Buist Community can raise money for the Buist Academy Foundation by selling tickets to the PGA Nationwide Golf Tour event being held at Daniel Island October 19- October 25. This is a PGA event with a total purse of $1.0 million. This is the final event of the 2009 Nationwide Tour and the top 25 money winners will earn their PGA cards.

Check out the TICKETS Fore CHARITY Presentation for simple instructions on selling the tickets. You can sell by filling out this Buist Academy Foundation TFC Order Form, by phone or on-line. ALL PROCEEDS FROM TICKET SALES ATTRIBUTED TO BUIST ACADEMY WILL GO TO THE BUIST ACADEMY FOUNDATION. If you can sell ten weekly passes for $30 each, the Buist Academy Foundation will receive $300.
