Legacy Campaign

That's $138,320 from GiveCampus and $131,038.45 from offline gifts. We are overwhelmed by your generosity. Together, as a whole community, we did something amazing. If you'd still like to make a gift, it's not too late. Now that the campaign is over, please make all online donations here.

Now it's time to watch the magic happen. But first, a happy dance to thank you for your support!

Thank you to everyone who made the Legacy Campaign a success! We blew past our $100,000 goal. Stay tuned for an update on Monday with the total online and offline giving amounts plus a very special THANK YOU VIDEO! Let's just say the ENTIRE school got into making it! :-)

If you'd still like to make a gift, it's not too late! We are still taking donations as we try and reach our total $7.5 million goal. As the formal GiveCampus campaign is now closed, you'll need to make the gift here.

Let's finish strong! If you have not yet made a gift, please do so before midnight. 

We have one last matching gift of $5,000 that needs to be fully tapped. And we need just 4 more alumni from the Class of 2009 to close out Peter Hill's match - don't let your classmate down!

We have just a few hours left in our Legacy Campaign, so we don't have any time to lose. Make a gift now, share the campaign, and let's end with a bang!

Over the course of the day, your contributions have met half of our $12,500 match. THANK YOU! We only have $6,630 to go to claim the other half and reach $125,000! Will you help us get there tonight by making a gift and sharing the campaign with all your friends and family? 

Together, we can build a legacy of excellence, opportunities, and impact for our children!

We have 36 hours left in our online Legacy Campaign! You've already helped us reach our $100,000 goal, but I know we can get even higher.

In fact, a donor called us this morning saying they want to us to get another $25,000 and hit $125,000. So, they're going to match half of that if we raise the other half!

If you haven't given yet (or want to give again!) now is the time! But don't stop there: get the word out! Are you a parent? Tell other parents! Are you an alum? Text your friends and get them to give. Know anyone else who would love what Boston Trinity is doing? Help us spread the word!

The excitement is building here as we soar higher and higher. Students are buzzing as our vision is becoming a reality. Let's see how far we can go in the next 36 hours!

You did it!!! You all helped us to reach $100,000. We are so in awe of your generosity and commitment to BTA. 

So...you don't think we can get to $125,000, do you? Let's see how high we can get! Please keep the donations coming. There just might be another happy dance at the finish line...

Today, our basketball and baseball coach, Walles Stokes, shares from his heart about the need for our very own Athletic Center. 

We are so close to $100,000, I can taste it! PARENTS AND ALUMNI, please share with everyone in your class that you know and enourage them to join you in making a gift. With everyone's participation, we can do it! 

Thank you to everyone who helped us to cross the $75,000 mark! This is our final week of the campaign. Please help us finish strong. We'd love to reach (and surpass!) our $100,000 goal by Friday! Make a gift today and share the campaign (with the links above) with all your friends and family. 

Your gift will be felt for generations to come! :-)

We're almost to the home stretch! We're just $3,500 shy of $75,000 and we're hoping to get there by Sunday! Now's the time to give and encourage others to give at bostontrinity.org/legacy.

Did you know one of the best ways to get the word out is to change your profile picture to the "I Gave" badge on social media?

Thanks for your generous support and all of your help getting the word out for the Legacy Campaign!

I hope their sacrificial giving inspires you to give as generously as you can as well. I know our online goal is $100,000, but in reality we need to raise so much more. I'm praying we blow way past $100,000 so that we can see this vision realized. Please take advantage of our matches so we don't lose them and give today!  

P.S. If you'd like to give an amount over $2,500, please send us a check offline. 

Today we're pleased to hear from some of our "front" office staff, Katia Andrade and Geisa Silveira-Baptista. They share why a new main entrance will be beneficial beyond being able to really be called the front office from now on. :-)

Today we are honored to hear from Dr. Michael Chen. Mike is the Founder and former Director of the Trinity Institute for Leadership and Social Justice for 11 years. As you may know, the Trinity Institute is the central program of our school that works with all our students to develop world-changing leaders. When complete, the Legacy Campaign will strengthen our community and our culture of excellence in tandem with our passionate faculty and our transformative curriculum. Your gift can help make this happen! 

Today, our middle schoolers share a day in their life dealing with our "front" door. This door is used for drop off and pick up. However, it leads into an unstaffed hallway, so it needs to be locked during the school day. This leads to frustration by our students, who like to be outside during lunch and breaks. It also leads to confusion by our visitors, who don't realize they have to go to the back of the school where our "front" office is. It all makes sense, doesn't it? :-) 

Thanks to everyone who's donated so far! We've been able to tap $7,600 of our $10,000 matching offer. Let's not lose the remaining $2,400, which expires on Monday. And don't forget about our matches specifically for ALUMNI. Please share the campaign today and spread the word!

Today's video, created by Duncan Smith '16, highlights the importance of athletics in our curriculum. Your donations are not just building a gym. By supporting the Legacy Campaign, you are building sound bodies, teamwork, perseverance, friendship, and leadership in all our students. The lack of indoor athletic facilities has been a hardship for our students. Today, you have an opportunity to change this!

Go Lions! 

Today, Frank shares an inspiring story about how God is pouring down His blessings on our Legacy Campaign like the rain that ended the drought in Elijah's day. You can help us to keep the rain coming by making a donation today.

We have several matching and challenge gifts that we don't want to lose. In particular, we have a $10,000 matching gift from the Rauxes that is only good until MONDAY! For every dollar you donate, it will be matched dollar for dollar. Pease don't miss out on these opportunities to double your gift. 

Alumni, you also have a unique opportunity. For every alumni who makes a donation of any amount, the Olokos will donate $25 up to $1,000! We need 40 alumni to step up today!

Please give today and make sure we get every dollar we can for the Legacy Campaign!

You did it! We reached $25,000! Frank was so happy he couldn't contain himself. But we've only just begun. Let's keep the momentum going over the weekend. Make a donation, create a matching gift, and/or share the campaign. Can we get to $35,000 over the long weekend? Remember, if you've got a gift over $2,500, send us a check and we can add it to our total goal.  

Thanks to everyone who helped us get over the $20,000 hump! We have $4,500 to go in order for Frank to share his happy dance. We know he's been practicing because we hear him in his office with the door closed and music going.

If you've already made a donation, please share the campaign using one of the links above. With your help, we can reach today's goal!

Here is the video of the drawings we shared at the Kickoff. Enjoy!

One of the highlights was cheering alongside our middle school girls soccer team. They brought so much passion and fired us up to support BTA. The girls then went above and beyond. After cheering, they presented $105 of their own money as the first gift of the evening. The crowd went wild! It was so moving seeing these middle school girls giving sacrificially to this campaign.

Will you follow their lead? We raised over $11,000 at the kickoff and our online campaign is now over $18,500. Thank you to everyone who's helped to make this happen! Right now, we want to make a big push to get over $25,000 by TOMORROW! Can you help us make that happen by making a gift or asking your friends and family to help?

If we get to $25,000 by tomorrow night, we'll post a video of our Headmaster, Frank Guerra, doing a happy dance! Give today and bring a smile to all our faces. :-)
