Blue & Gray Society
Your generosity makes a difference – and so does your leadership.
The Story of the Blue and Gray Society
Founded 20 years ago in recognition of the Academy’s most generous donors, the Blue and Gray Society is a community of Trustees, alumni, parents, grandparents, past parents, friends and faculty of Gilmour Academy who are dedicated to the school’s mission to educate the mind and empower the heart of every Gilmour student. The 71 charter members of the Blue and Gray Society set the path to create and sustain an extraordinary Gilmour experience for every student across every level and today’s members continue that legacy.
Impact of Blue and Gray
The leadership and generosity of Blue and Gray Society members impacts our students and faculty every day in every way. Funds from the Blue and Gray Society support The Gilmour Fund, which is the cornerstone of philanthropy at Gilmour and has the most immediate impact on our students. The critical dollars raised help provide students a transformative educational experience, attracting and retaining the very best faculty, providing state-of-the-art technology, providing need-based tuition assistance to qualified students and continuing to grow academic and extracurricular programming. Since its founding over 20 years ago, Blue and Gray Society members have contributed more than $10 million, providing the foundation for Gilmour’s continued growth and success.
