Donate to the
Brophy Alumni Appeal
If you haven't by now, take a few minutes to watch Father Reese's video at the top of this page. In 10 years, Brophy has accomplished much. In 1999, there was no Eller Center, no Piper Center, no Information Commons, no Harper Hall...& certainly no curriculum for students who now grace these fine walls.
Brophy's financial aid budget for the 2009-2010 school year was $2.35 M. Thanks to the generosity of so many donors, young men were afforded a Jesuit education who otherwise did not have the means. Donating to the Brophy Financial Aid is easy.
