Dear Brentwood Academy Family,

We are thrilled to begin another Annual Giving Campaign by

thanking God and acknowledging everyone who gave sacrificially

last year.

Last year’s response was unprecedented with 100% participation

by parents, trustees and faculty, and a huge increase in

participation by alumni, parents of alumni and others in the

extended BA family. The extra funds provided by our generous

Challenge Gift donors strengthened the impact of our individual

gifts and ensured the fact that “every gift counts.” Once again,

we will utilize the Challenge Gift donations to encourage every

giver to make a pledge. We look forward to seeing how God

provides again this year.

We invite you to read the following profiles to catch a glimpse of

how your support of BA impacts not only our current generation

of students and families, but our world. Please consider making

a pledge, using the enclosed envelope, to support our school’s

mission, and join us as we watch our school grow in trust and

faith.

IMPACT YOUR WORLD

BA MISSION STATEMENTBrentwood Academy is a co-educational, independent, college preparatory school dedicated

to nurturing and challenging the whole person – body, mind, and spirit – to the glory of God.

“From day one, our students learn what community looks like. The way the school is structured with things like the middle school dens, the Big Brother Big Sister program and advisory groups - there are so many ways community is built into Brentwood Academy. The students probably don’t even realize how community-oriented they are until they go away from BA and see what it has meant to them. Our children were also greatly impacted by the Bible classes they took at BA. Our daughter is now majoring in sociology with an emphasis on pov-erty studies because of how she was impacted by her Religion and Culture class.”

Senior Pastor, St. Paul Community Church

“When I was in the 8th grade one of my teachers sat me down at a low point in my life when I thought I would transfer out of BA. His understanding of a troubled child and taking a personal interest in me changed my life’s

direction. I stayed at BA, and the following year, gave my life to Christ at a fall retreat. I was shown what true mentoring looks like and now am trying to pour into others. BA also instilled the importance of life-long learning in me. I am still obtaining further education in seminary.”

Caroline GreeneShow Hope Volunteer, Class of 2013

“Because of my relationship with one of my teachers, I became interested in orphan care and have been to China twice to work in orphanages. Now, I am so excited to share my passion with my friends at school. Last year, I helped start the Movement Club through Show Hope. The Movement was started in Williamson County and is spreading throughout the U.S. to help bring

students from unaware, to aware, to action in the orphan crisis. I can’t wait to help make it bigger and better so more students will be involved. The reason I ended up in China was because of the relationships I built at BA. I am so thankful. Lives are being changed!”

Brad PerryClass of 1992, Parent of Knox ‘18, Faculty and Coach

“I knew before I ever went to college that I wanted to come back to BA to teach because of the impact that mentors and teachers had on me when I was here. I think you see the core of our mission show up in these mentoring relationships with students, with co-workers and throughout our BA family. That has held true from my time as a student and up until now.”

MEET THE CHALLENGE MAKE AN IMPACT

Every gift makes an impact. This year, we will repeat

the Challenge Gift Program that was introduced last

year that resulted in more than $100,000 in additional

gifts. The key is your participation. Every gift pledged,

regardless of the amount, results in even more money

contributed by one of our Challenge Gift donors. We

invite you to continue the tradition with a gift to the

Annual Fund, making an impact on your world.

BA parent David Arms created a painting entitled

Integral (pictured below) to help commemorate and

celebrate participation in last year’s campaign. We are

grateful for the historic 100% participation by parents,

faculty and trustees, and the overwhelming increase in

participation from others in the larger BA family. We are

hope to achieve this level of support again this year.

“A nest is made up of so many different parts, but each part is integral. It is symbolic of the significance of each part that every person plays in our community. Every gift given plays a significant part. Annual Giving is about everyone coming together with one mind, one purpose and one goal.” - David Arms
