ALUM STORY

Why did Darcy BETT MacLeod’84 renew her support for Branksome for the first time in a decade?


After a career pivot in her 50s landed her in the male-dominated field of home inspection, the iCAST Equipment Registry had personal resonance. Darcy loved the ability to select a specific piece of equipment that directly enriches the student experience


“It’s wonderful to give back and help girls who are more creative or technical, who want to work with their hands,” she says. Darcy's gift also places her in our newly launched Keepers Society for alums who give annually at the $500–$999 level. Members are acknowledged in Branksome communications, including the annual Donor & Giving Report, and welcomed at our signature recognition event, joining Circle ($1,000+) and 10 Elm Society members.
