Annual Fund

 

2025-26 Annual Fund - Shine Bright, SBA! 

The Annual Fund bridges the gap between tuition and the true cost of an SBA education. Gifts provide immediate support for student and faculty needs, allow us to seize new opportunities, and add value across academics, arts, athletics, and student life.

SBA does a fantastic job of keeping each student engaged and learning regardless of their ability; and, they work very hard to put the best interests of our children first. I give to the Annual Fund each year because my gift provides financial flexibility to the SBA administration to create and try new learning experiences for all its students.
