Gasson

Gasson Circle — $10,000 to $24,999

Named for Boston College’s 13th president, Thomas I. Gasson, S.J., the Gasson Circle honors donors who are catalysts for change. When 51²è¹Ý outgrew their space in the South End of Boston, then-president Rev. Thomas I. Gasson, S.J., bought 31 acres of the former Lawrence Farm in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, and broke ground in 1909 on a new campus, today fondly known as “the Heights.â€

Gasson Circle donors aspire to new heights and support 51²è¹Ý with an annual gift of $10,000 to $24,999, deepening their philanthropic impact and engagement with 51²è¹Ý.

Boston College, and more specifically AHANA, afforded me the opportunity to thrive. I was given the chance to learn from diverse cultures and understand the difference between what's right and what's righteous. This education shaped my life, and I want to ensure AHANA will be there for those who come after me.
