Name A Stepping Stone
Make your mark. Maximize your Impact.
Support Branksome’s future and become part of its history. Leave your legacy on a unique donor recognition wall, a central architectural feature in the new Karen L. Jurjevich Innovation Centre and Studio Theatre (iCAST). Inscribe your colourful stone, which will be individually strung by wire along a glass wall in the lobby.
It’s a rare opportunity to make your mark while maximizing your support of girls’ education.

Each size comes in a range of colours, and by using the Interactive Donor Wall, you can choose where on the wall you would like to place your stone.
