Bricks of Belonging
Reserve Your Brick. Be Part of the Legacy.
Every brick a name. Every name a story.
For nearly six decades, A Better Chance of Andover has been a home: a place where high-achieving students of color from across the country live, learn, and grow into the leaders our world needs. More than 150 Scholars, alongside the mentors, host families, board members, and friends who shaped them, have passed through the walls of our historic residence.
Now we're inviting you to leave your mark on it. Literally.
What Is the Bricks of Belonging Campaign?
We're creating a community-built patio at the ABC house, made from engraved bricks purchased by supporters, alumni, and volunteers like you. Each brick carries a name, a memory, or a message, and together they form a permanent tribute to the people who have made ABC possible. Every dollar raised supports the heart of ABC: the home where our Scholars build the relationships, confidence, and sense of belonging that carry them into college and beyond.
This campaign turns that belonging into something you can stand on.
