Annual Giving Campaign - Goal $300,000
More than 10 years ago, parents established the Annual Giving Fund to provide student and faculty support not possible through our fixed operational budget. Today the Annual Giving Campaign provides unrestrictive and designated funds for student programs such as the Robotics Team, soccer, Paintball Club, FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America), photography, theater productions and more.
Annual Giving provides funds for staff-faculty development including certification training, advanced courses, and peer visits to other special-needs schools.
Additionally, campus development like the new Walking Trail, sand volleyball court, and healthy lifestyle equipment and programs are funded.
Annual Giving includes in-kind gifts like our John Deere Gators, mower, TVs, furniture, and snow blower.
We have currently raised $110,000 and our goal is 100% participation by current parents, faculty and staff, and board members.
Foundation Scholarship Campaign - Goal $60,000
The Brehm School Foundation has set a goal to raise scholarship aid based upon need. Scholarships will benefit families who otherwise would not be able to send a child to Brehm or OPTIONS. Scholarships will also further diversify our campus and help ensure the future of the school. To jump start the process, the Foundation will match each donation for the first $30,000. Our endowment goal is $2 million by 2013. We currently have $500,000 in hand. The Foundation accepts one-time gifts, multi-year pledges, asset donations, and planned giving.
Basketball Campaign - Goal $200,000
A Basketball Committee was formed this year to assist the Basketball Program which includes the Prep, Varsity, and Junior Varsity teams. The program provides opportunities for student-athletes with complex learning disabilities from across the U.S. as well as international students from nations like Nigeria, Cameroon, Australia, Canada, and Latvia. Our students have achieved national success in a number of invitational tournaments and games with other high schools and junior colleges throughout the U. S. These students have received athletic scholarships to Division I and II universities including Vanderbilt, Minnesota, Oregon, and Tennessee-Chattanooga.

This program is one of many efforts to enhance the overall positive health, culture, and spirit of our students. A student running club, 5K walk/run, and nutritional health program have been initiated this past year. Designated gifts to basketball and athletics have greatly benefited the well-being of our students, faculty, and staff. This year the campaign has raised $121,000.
Your support is an integral part of our achievements with students at Brehm and OPTIONS. We utilize and appreciate every single donation, at every giving level.
