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!
