“The purpose of the Benedictine fund is multifactorial. Not only do these funds help maintain the daily infrastructure and maintenance of the school grounds, but they also provide much-needed support for student scholarships. Benedictine desperately requires the generosity of its robust and loyal alumni network to maintain our traditions. Benedictine is completely unique regarding its indelible mark on the history and people of Savannah. There is not a day that goes by where I do not discuss Benedictine in some form or fashion with a patient or one of their family members. The camaraderie of its students and alumni network is second to none. One would be hard pressed to find another school that better instills the values of leadership, spirituality, and brotherhood in young men than Benedictine Military School."
Mr. Christopher Phillips '79
"As alumni, we should all be very grateful for our time at BC, knowing that it provided each of us the education, guidance, and brotherhood that helped mold us into the men we are today. With this benefit comes the duty to give back to the school through the Annual Fund to ensure that future young men can continue to experience the same benefits of a BC education."
"We find it important to support Benedictine's 400 Alumni Campaign each year because the cost to educate a student continues to increase. Benedictine is a unique place and provides a unique experience that changes the lives of families. Our hope is that we are helping families, that are stretching to send their son to Benedictine, to experience the generational changing opportunity which my family was blessed to receive."
"It is somewhat impossible to place a value on a Benedictine Military School education. When a prospective employer knows that you graduated from BC, they immediately think to themselves, 'Discipline, structure, goal-oriented, teamwork, team player, and camaraderie.' I will be forever grateful that I was able to follow in my father's footsteps (our son, Kaelan, also received a Benedictine education), receive a Benedictine education, have a successful business career and, most importantly, create lifelong friendships, and create a brotherhood with my classmates and other graduates of BC."
Mr. Michael Ware, Jr., '79
"I owe BC so very much for both the education it provided me, at well below the cost of doing so, as well as the community it allows me to stay so closely attached with even 45 years after my graduation (not the norm for high schools). My daughters have graduated from a wonderful private high school in Marietta and will both be soon graduated from UGA (Go Dogs!) ... personal payroll is shrinking rapidly! I now have some disposable income to give to institutions I respect and cherish. Benedictine will always be at or near the top of my list. Please give what you can, when you can."
"Benedictine is a values-based institution. Our core values are Character, Spirituality, Purpose, and Brotherhood. BC exists for one reason: to make better men because of a life lived only for oneself is a life wasted. It really is that simple.
Mr. Harry Haslam, Jr., '69
"I have, as do other alumni, an obligation to repay to Benedictine what has been so graciously afforded me. Education, discipline, a religious foundation, a lifetime of close-knit friends, membership into a brotherhood who are always there, and a continuing relationship with the Benedictine monks. We give so others may follow in our footsteps. Financial assistance is necessary for many deserving young men to attend BC. Donate today! A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit. Donate so future generations can enjoy the benefits of a Benedictine education. Education is the first and most important building block of society. Your contribution to Benedictine provides an education and more for deserving young men, the leaders of tomorrow.
