THE ANNUAL FUND MAKES A DIFFERENCE!

Boylan Catholic's Annual Giving Program is the primary opportunity for alumni, parents, and friends to give back, make a difference, and change lives.

In 2011, over 3000 donors made charitable gifts to Boylan Catholic. Their Annual Fund gifts amounted to $625,375 and resulted in the following curricular and facility enhancements:

• Growth of the need-based Student Assistance Program (approximately one fourth of our families demonstrate need for tuition assistance)
  
  
• Eight new course offerings including Advanced Placement Microeconomics and Advanced Placement US Government and Politics (bringing the total of AP courses to 12); Catholic culture; Senior Math Concepts; Music Technology/Sound Production, Beginning Piano Lab, Class Piano, and Mandarin Chinese
  
  
• Technological updates including 31 new CADD computers and CADD plotter and boosted Bandwidth from 3Mbps to 20Mbps
  
  
• Facility improvements including Auxiliary Gym storage rooms as part of the Girls' Locker Room renovations; energy-efficient window replacements adjacent to the Student Entrance, and blacktop repairs to parking lots

We ask all members of the Boylan community-alumni, parents, faculty, parents of alumni and friends-to make a difference in the lives of our students. Make your Annual Fund gift today!

Gift Restrictions
Although many donors choose to allow the school to use their gifts where they are most needed, several special programs and projects are funded through restricted gifts each year. These include gifts to endowment, need-based tuition assistance, and facilities.

Acceptance
On occasion, Boylan Catholic is presented with a unique gift opportunity that requires the institution to formally accept a gift before it is actually made to the school. For that reason, Boylan Catholic reserves the right to formally review any gift, regardless of its asset form, before it is receipted.

Bishop Lane Society

VISION

Bishop Loras T. Lane opened the doors of Boylan Catholic with this directive:

"SEEK EXCELLENCE IN ALL THAT YOU DO"

It was a clear and timeless vision for a brand new school. Since September 7, 1960, excellence has been the hallmark of a Boylan education.

The Bishop Lane Society enrolls committed individuals who embrace Bishop Lane's challenge and dedicate themselves to annually supporting Boylan Catholic's Mission:

Boylan Catholic High School is a Christ-centered community dedicated to the education of the whole person and committed to truth, service, and academic excellence.

The Bishop Lane Society has been established as an organization that requires an annual gift of one thousand dollars or more. Although most gifts are unrestricted, donors can restrict their gift to a specific program or area-the Student Assistance Program, for example.
