Bethlehem Academy 2010-2011 Annual Fund
2010 BA Golf Classic Honors Kevin Bauer
These are extraordinary times for Bethlehem Academy as the school sees increases in its student enrollment while working to initiate an historic Capital Campaign to meet the current and future needs of students.
Former BA football and track coach Kevin Bauer was honored at the BA Coaches Golf Classic held August 6 at the Faribault County Club. The annual event attracted 120 golfers who helped to contribute over $10,000 to benefit student athletes at Bethlehem Academy.
It is against this exciting and ambitious backdrop that Bethlehem Academy introduces its Annual Fund to ask for charitable donations to meet immediate needs of this current school year. The BA Annual Fund is the financial cornerstone to the continued growth and excellence of Bethlehem Academy. The goal of the BA 2010-2011 Annual Fund is to raise $125,000 to answer immediate needs ranging from scholarship assistance for deserving families to educational needs for students in the BA classroom, and faculty development. The successful history of the BA Annual Fund from supporters like you has been a key component of BA’s strength. In fact, we have met our Annual Fund goals and have used those donations to keep Bethlehem Academy strong and vibrant. The Annual Fund is the single most important appeal at Bethlehem Academy allowing supporters to make charitable contribution to directly support BA students. Giving to the BA Fund is the best way for alumni, parents, grandparents and friends to make a financial difference in the future of Bethlehem Academy. Your investment on an annual basis to the BA Fund will help to raise funds for important school activities including enriched academic programs, faculty development, enhancements to technology and the overall physical plant of BA. Please join us in continuing this strong Annual Fund giving tradition at Bethlehem Academy with your tax-deductible gift today. Thank you.

Bauer, a 1975 graduate of Bethlehem Academy was honored for his years of service to the school, and also his years of service in the National Guard. “BA is family to me,” Bauer said. “It’s given me a lot of strength, courage, mentorship…and values that you can’t find in other schools. The sense of community, the sense of family is what makes BA great.” Bethlehem Academy announced the 2011 Golf Classic will be held on Friday, August 5.
