The Powerof Parent

Philanthropy

Dear parents,

parents of new and returning students, you are vitally important

members of the Boston College community, and I want to extend my

greetings and welcome to you as the 2012–2013 academic year begins.

Boston College was established by members of the Society of Jesus in 1863 to educate

children of mainly Irish immigrants. This fall, we are launching our Sesquicentennial

Celebration. Our 150th anniversary is an opportunity to give thanks for many blessings

received in past decades, reflect on our institutional heritage and mission, and dream and

reach into the future with renewed vision and goals.

Since its founding, Boston College has changed in location, size, scope, and complexity;

but it remains committed to being the best possible institution of higher education it can

be and also faithful to its Jesuit, Catholic roots. In particular, we strive to help all on our

campus, especially students, identify and develop their gifts so that they can be a leaven

for good in wider society.

I am grateful for your support and presence and also for the ways in which you assist

Boston College. With you and our other alumni and friends, BC will be able to continue

working for the greater glory of God as it has done for almost 150 years.

Sincerely,

William P. Leahy, S.J.President

As

Boston College parents

make a difference every day...

More than 9,100 parents have enhanced the

BC student experience with Light the World campaign gifts that

touch every aspect of campus life.

message from theco-chairs

Dear friends,

are so pleased that you have chosen to become a

Boston College family. From the very beginning, we have

felt welcome on campus and hope you, too, view the

Heights as home.

The University offers our children nearly limitless opportunities for academic and

personal growth, from exploring exciting new ideas in the classroom to embarking

on volunteer service trips to participating in athletics and arts programs.

The BC student experience is truly life-changing, and we are most grateful that you

have chosen to support the University’s mission. Your philanthropy and volunteer

spirit have an immediate impact on today’s undergraduates—and create a wonderful

family tradition of giving to Boston College.

Thank you for making a difference at BC. We hope you will find, as we do, that the

more you do to advance our University community, the more you receive in return.

Warm regards,

Liliane and Trustee Christian Haub, P’13, ’14Co-chairs, Parents’ Leadership Council

The Boston College Parent Community

The Parents’ Leadership Council provides parents with unique opportunities to connect to

Boston College and advance its Jesuit, Catholic mission.

Council members play a dynamic role in BC’s success through annual support of the

Parents’ Fund and other BC initiatives—and through their gifts of time and talent.

They serve as ambassadors at special events, including programs with the University

president, and present Boston College leaders with the parent perspective—often

communicating with fellow parents on BC’s behalf, advising the University on strategies to

engage parents, and promoting programs at the Heights and across the country.


The map below shows the number of enrolled undergraduate students by state, as well as the number of parents in each region who joined

the Gasson Society by making gifts of $10,000 or more.


As a Boston College parent, you are vital to the life of the University—and propel BC forward through your unwavering commitment to your child and this special institution.

You energize the BC student experience through your support of Light the World: The 150th Anniversary Campaign for Boston College. Your gifts to the Parents’ Fund and other BC initiatives drive the campaign’s priorities and enable the University to enhance the academic, athletic, spiritual, and formational opportunities available to all undergraduates.

We want to lead by example and demonstrate to our daughter, Jaclyn, the importance of giving back to the school that has given her so much. Her time at the

Heights has been transformative, and our gifts—whether to support Stokes Hall or the Institute for the Liberal Arts—will

ensure that more students have a life-changing BC experience.”

* Parents’ Leadership Council Members✝ Deceased

Boston College proudly honors parents who have established bequests and other legacy gifts for the University. These individuals are welcomed into our Shaw Society,

named for early benefactor Joseph Coolidge Shaw, S.J. In recognition of their commitment to BC’s future growth and success, we present those current parents

who have made a legacy gift to Boston College.

“Our legacy gift is a way to honor those who spent the last 150 years making Boston College a wonderfully caring, dynamic institution. The lessons our

daughters, Michele and Elizabeth, learned at BC will last a lifetime, and we’re gratified that our commitment today will help the University flourish well past its next landmark anniversary.”— Denise and Marty Marbach, P’09, ’13 Lower Gwynedd, Pa.

your support helps BC reach new heights...Since the Light the World

launch, 271 parents have made gifts of $100,000 or more

to Boston College—establishing endowments

and funding other critical priorities at

the University.

Parents’ Leadership Council Co-chairs

▶Contact new parents in early fall to welcome them to the BC family

▶Participate in Parents’ Weekend events, regional receptions, Masses, and more

▶Promote Parents’ Fund outreach by making parent-to-parent fundraising calls, contributing to fundraising strategy, and representing the Parents’ Fund at University functions

▶Host a First Year Sendoff or other BC gathering for fellow parents

▶Provide career advice or internship opportunities to current students

The Parents’ Leadership Council Executive Committee invites all Gasson Society members to increase their connection to the Heights and touch the lives of today’s BC students.

To take advantage of these special opportunities, please contact Rebecca Holden, assistant director of Parent Development, at [email protected] or 617-552-0966.

Light the World is the most ambitious fundraising campaign in the history of Jesuit, Catholic education and has four main goals: raise $1.5 billion for vital

priorities, expand volunteer engagement, increase alumni donor participation, and secure BC’s future through legacy giving.

We initially supported Boston College because of the warm welcome we received on

campus. We’ve stayed involved because the BC community offers incredible opportunities—from experiencing Pops on the Heights and hosting First Year Sendoffs to joining panel discussions and advancing parent fundraising.”—Charlene and George McLaughlin, P’13, ’16

Belmont, Mass.
