Make a Bigger Impact: Join The Leadership Circle
Leadership Circle members are change makers and help BAA Foundation raise necessary funds to provide life-changing opportunities for Boston's next generation of artists, scholars, and global citizens. The group plays a key role in helping BAA Foundation achieve an ambitious $2.5 million BAA Honors goal. Each member is asked to help fundraise and secure donations totaling $25,000, and/or make their own contribution toward their give/get. This can be achieved through sponsorships, ticket sales, program advertising, live auction items, and more.
By joining this extraordinary group of volunteers, Leadership Circle members help BAA Foundation in its efforts to ensure that the school has the resources to fund its arts, STEAM (STEM + arts) and Health & Wellness resources and programming that are so important to BAA’s 500+ growing student body.
