Gifts range from $20 to a precedent-setting $1.5m and were donated by parents, grandparents, alumni, staff, trustees, companies and friends of the School.


Ms Savoie thanked the donors “not only for funding a new structure, but also for helping to build opportunity, support innovation and, most importantly, develop tomorrow’s global leaders”. In addition to the financial support from BHS families and friends, a number of companies have donated leadership gifts including Renaissance Re, Arch, the XL Foundation (XL Catlin), Aon, Deloitte, CatCo, Markel, Argus and BF&M.
