From March 22, 2023 post.

Thank you to the members of the BC community who joined us today as Father Frank announced the closing of the Forward, Always Forward Capital Campaign with $23.7 million raised for our brick and mortar projects and endowment. 

With an original goal of $12 million, the overwhelming support of our alumni, parents, and friends made this the largest fundraising effort in the 121 year history of the school. We are grateful for your support and for your belief in our Benedictine values as we serve our mission by instilling character and values into the next generation of young men. 

Headmaster Father Frank shared some special remarks and presented Steering Committee Chairman Walter Murphy '71 and Field of Dreams Chairman Marty Hogan '86 with a special gift from Benedictine. Principal Jacob Horne provided a school update. Current Board Members and former Campaign Steering Committee Member Bill Shearouse made comments about the substantial improvements to the school. BC Student Council President Charlie Iannone thanked the donors for impacting every Cadet. Advancement Director Greg Markiton '92 introduced the campaign highlight video. Father Ronald Gatman offered a special blessing for the future of the school before Father Frank offered his closing remarks and thanked everyone for their generous support.

Also, it was announced that the new front driveway of the school has been renamed "Father Frank Way" in honor of current Headmaster Father Frank Ziemkiewicz. His leadership and vision have been crucial to the success of this transformative campaign.
