Celebration Fundraiser

Bridgton Academy Commencement for the Class of 2026 is just over a week away, and the energy around campus is palpable as this wonderful group of young men completes a positive year of learning, growth, and achievement here at the Academy. While final classes, projects, and exams still need to be finished, this year’s Wolverines will soon be moving on to a new chapter in their journey. The one-year transformation of our boys to young men at Bridgton Academy is intense and fleeting; it is this uniquely rapid development that we celebrate as the calendar turns to May.

As parents, families, and friends prepare for the end of the Bridgton year, we invite you to honor the accomplishments of this year’s Class of 2026 Wolverines with a gift to Bridgton’s Celebration Fundraiser. Contributors to the Class of 2026 Celebration Fundraiser will have access to special perks, including a yearbook ad for your Wolverine, unique Bridgton gifts, and other opportunities for recognition. All donations to the Celebration Fundraiser are tax deductible as allowed by law and will be dedicated to the Academy’s Wolverine Opportunity Scholarship Fund, helping to make the Bridgton experience possible for future Wolverines.

We at Bridgton Academy thank each of you for your generosity and support throughout this year, providing guidance from miles away, attending events, and making financial contributions through our various fundraising efforts. Bridgton Academy is an experience made possible by the generosity of many. We look forward to seeing you all at our upcoming Commencement festivities and invite you to join this effort by participating in one, or both, of the options below!
