The Spartan Alumni Newsletter
From the Desk of Your New Director of Advancement
Dear Bishop Walsh Alumni,
My name is Bradley Brandon, and I am honored to have joined Bishop Walsh School as your new Director of Advancement. As a parent committed to Catholic education and with children in the BW community, I am deeply invested in the mission of our school and the success of every student who walks our halls.
I believe that education is the great equalizer, and that Catholic education offers one of the strongest foundations a young person can receive. My goal is to ensure that Bishop Walsh continues to provide exceptional opportunities for all students while preserving the faith, values, and community that make our school so special.
As Director of Advancement, I look forward to connecting with alumni, parents, and friends of Bishop Walsh. My vision for the Spartan Fund and other initiatives centers on engagement, transparency, and building a strong, lasting community of support. Together, we can strengthen our school, expand access to Catholic education, and enhance the programs that shape the next generation of Spartans.
With Gratitude,
Bradley Brandon
Director of Advancement

Support a Student, Have Fun
BW Sweepstakes Card
Our families participate each year in the Spartan Sweepstakes, a fun program that also supports tuition assistance.
Each card has four numbers and enters the holder into weekly drawings throughout the year. Cards are $40, and for every card purchased, $20 goes directly toward a student’s tuition.
Alumni can participate in two ways:
-
Sponsor a student you know
Send in a card on behalf of a current BW student, and $20 of your purchase will reduce that student’s tuition.
- If you don’t have a specific student in mind, we will apply your $20 tuition credit to a family who could use the assistance. Your participation truly makes a difference.
This is a simple, fun way to support the next generation of Spartans—and we’ve included a photo of the card so you can see exactly how it works.
Coming Soon to The Spartan Alumni Newsletter
