Building Bridges: Annual Fund Chairs

We are honored to represent Brainerd Baptist School as the Annual Fund Chair Family 2024-2025.  

Moving back to Chattanooga three years ago, we found ourselves at a crossroads. One big question we simply had to answer was, where will we send our girls? There are great schools in Chattanooga, but BBS stood out to us to be the best.  From the administration to faculty and students alike, an ever-present duty to each other mirrors that in our home.  Along with a rigorous academic curriculum and high expectations for every student, this school has proven to be the place our children have not only loved but thrived.  As Hindus, we are so happy that our children are loved and nurtured to be themselves, and to acknowledge their heritage and beliefs.  Undoubtedly, they are appreciated and accepted for who they are.  We are so grateful that Brainerd Baptist is a Christ-centered inclusive environment.  We give to the annual fund because we support the mission of our school and the advancement of all students. We plan to support our school for years to come!

Every year, every gift makes a difference

Our annual fund, Building Bridges, serves as one of the most vital sources of financial support for Brainerd Baptist School, second only to tuition. This fund plays a crucial role in sustaining the daily operations of our school and ensures that we can continue offering an exceptional educational experience grounded in Christian values. The money raised through Building Bridges helps close the gap between the tuition paid by families and the actual cost of educating each student, a cost that is intentionally kept lower to make a BBS education accessible to as many families as possible.

We hope you will prayerfully consider donating.  Our goal is 100% participation among parents, faculty, and staff. Your gift will help us remain one of the finest Christian schools in Chattanooga, TN.
