Our annual fundraising initiatives, including The Burgundy Fund, BCWS Camp Fee Support, Cooper’s Cove Conservation Fund, and Legacy Gift, provide critically needed annual support for Burgundy’s people, programs, and physical spaces, both in Alexandria and at the Cove The B for Burgundy Campaign supports the future of our school by: Strengthening & Activating Burgundy’s Endowment; Sustaining the Cove; Protecting & Preserving our Alexandria Campus; and Growing The Burgundy Fund I encourage you to learn more about each of these initiatives in this year’s annual report
The Burgundy community’s commitment to our school is clear, and this past fiscal year was financially strong thanks to the generosity of our entire community, including current and past families, alumni, grandparents, faculty and staff, and friends The B for Burgundy Campaign positions Burgundy for an exciting future, and there is still an opportunity to get involved! With your continued partnership, we will continue to honor our mission, celebrate each stu that Burgundy remains a vibrant, thriving school
With gratitude,
