Why This Project Is Important
The Time is Now
- Bellarmine Preparatory School has played a significant role in the education of young people from Tacoma and its surrounding communities for nearly 80 years.
- The Booster Gym is the space where our student body gathers for assemblies, games, masses and concerts, yet it is seismically our most vulnerable building.
- The size, age and safety of the Booster and Names Gyms have not kept pace with the quality of our student athletes or with the needs of other students who use these facilities for a wide variety of events every day of the school year and throughout the summer months.
- These facilities are among the most-used on the entire Bellarmine campus and they need to be safe, first-rate venues not only for athletics and physical education, but also for many other Bellarmine activities and for the community at large.
- The Board?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s enthusiastic endorsement of this effort has set the stage for a successful campaign to replace the Booster Gym and renovate the Names Gym for the benefit of all students at the school.
- Your personal investment in this campaign at a stretch level will set an example of generosity for other Bellarmine alumni and parents, and will help demonstrate a strong commitment to the project for other funding organizations.
