Branson Alumni Day of Giving 2026

We did it! This year’s Alumni Day of Giving was a success. 

Thanks to the 500+ alumni who gave early and on Day of Giving, we were able to unlock both the $10,000 early giving challenge and the final $60,000 challenge. As of now, we've raised a total of $233,694 for the Alumni Scholarship Fund!

Thank you:

• To each of you who donated, for your generous gifts, large and small, that supported the Alumni Scholarship Fund, all of which directly benefits our students and school community.
• To your class reps, for helping us to reconnect with you and for their encouragement throughout the day.
• To the leadership donors who offered challenges and matches that set a high bar and gave momentum to our efforts.
• To all of our Branson alums for being the amazing humans you are!

If you missed all the fun, there's still time to make an impact – we'll keep this giving page open for you until the end of the month!

Great news – Thanks to the 500+ alumni who’ve given, we’ve met our big milestone!

The $60,000 challenge from our generous group of alumni has been unlocked!

That’s $60,000 more to the Alumni Scholarship Fund, ensuring that the Branson community will continue to welcome and nurture multi-faceted and determined students, despite economic barriers.

But the day’s not over! There’s still time for you to join us and make an even greater impact in support of our students. We'll keep this giving page open for you.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment, now is the time to jump in and make this happen for our future students! 

The sun has set, but the day’s not over. Whether you’re tucking in or heading out on the town for happy hour, you can still be a part of this day in support of the Alumni Scholarship Fund. Every gift, no matter the size, gets us to our goal of 500 donors and unlocking the $60k challenge!

Alumni from across generations are showing up for Branson students today, and we’re heading into the final stretch together.

It only takes a minute to give, but your investment in our students opens many doors. Consider this message from long-time faculty member, administrator, and alumni parent Jeff Symonds:

“For those of you who may have been financial aid recipients, you remember how unbelievably transformational that gift was. 

And for those of you who were not, I’m sure you remember how transformational the presence of those friends and colleagues and teammates and thought partners was – and, I hope, as lifelong friends, still is.

For us to build the community that we want to build – the most robust community of learners, thinkers, athletes, and artists who will take full advantage of our program – financial aid is a perpetual need.”

When you support one student’s dream of attending Branson, our whole community benefits.

Join us and give now.

So far, we're at 65% of our goal with 325 donors.

The Class of 2009 is leading the way in donors with 21 alumni gifts! Class of '94 holds second place with 14 gifts. Third place is a tie between and Class of '97, Class of '15, and Class of '19 with 12 donors per class each.

In honor of '09's lead, here is their class photo from graduation. 

See anyone you recognize?

To see photos from your time at Branson, help your class take the lead by giving today!

Do you have a minute? That’s all it takes to make a difference today.

You can give by Venmo, Paypal, credit card – even Crypto. It couldn’t be easier!

Giving is quick and easy AND your support of the Branson Alumni Scholarship Fund creates a lifetime of difference for future Branson students.

Thank you for being a part of this special day.

That's right, thanks to over 250 generous alumni, we are halfway to our goal of 500 donors and it's not even noon at Branson. Thanks to Tiffany Gasca '13 who just gave our 250th gift.

In honor of hitting the halfway point, enjoy this throwback picture from our 1986 Branson performance of "Hair", the same year Bon Jovi graced our ears with "Living On a Prayer."

Keep those gifts coming in support of the Alumni Scholarship Fund!

We've just reached the 200 donor mark - we're already 40% to our goal of 500 gifts today and 40% of the way to unlocking our $60,000 challenge. Let's keep the momentum going!

Today is Day of Giving 2026, when Branson alumni come together in support of the Alumni Scholarship Fund, and we can’t do it without you.

We're excited to announce that we met our pre-Day of Giving $10,000 Challenge and started the day off strong with over 150 gifts.

Today's exciting challenge: If 500 alumni give, we unlock an extra $60,000 for the Alumni Scholarship Fund! 

Give now; let's do this!
