North Andover, MA
For Brooks: The Final Stretch
Thanks to the generosity of more than 1,500 supporters, we are 91% of the way to our ambitious $2,665,000 Brooks Fund goal. With just weeks remaining until the close of our fiscal year, the finish line is in sight - only $200,000 to go! The Brooks Fund is the foundation of philanthropic support at Brooks and provides the flexible resources needed to sustain the exceptional educational experience that defines our school. Just as important as the dollars raised is the breadth of participation. We know that the final $200,000 won’t come from one person alone. It will come from a community united for Brooks. Whether you give $25, $250, or $25,000, your gift moves us closer to our goal and strengthens the Brooks experience for every student. Please consider renewing your support by June 30, 2026.
