Bob and Juliane Sullivan ‘69 believe the high school years are the most important window in a young person’s development, ultimately setting one up for success in college and beyond. It was at Notre Dame Belmont (NDB) that Juliane ‘69 and her daughters, Rebecca ‘04 and Andrea ‘10, thrived in the school’s supportive, faith-based environment that empowers young women to take safe risks and discover their passions.

“Single-gender education was the best thing for myself and my girls,” Juliane shared. “Having more introverted personalities, the environment at NDB empowered us to find our niches and thrive. Both of my daughters excelled in college and have Masters degrees — one is a kindergarten teacher and one works with autistic children. The single-gender, small environment of NDB empowers you to find yourself and who you are, so that you may go out into the world and make a positive difference.”

Bob and Juliane look back on the financial struggle they faced putting two daughters and one son through private, Catholic high school. Having made the necessary sacrifices to afford their education, they dreamed of one day being able to help others do the same. It is with a deep sense of gratitude that they decided the need is great and the time is now.

"We have been incredibly blessed and now are able to step up to pay it forward. We support the Lasting Legacy Capital Campaign because we believe in the mission of NDB education. We invite others to join the story and the mission to support NDB to ensure its 100+ year legacy will live on. Schools don’t survive on their own — we all have to join in the heavy lifting to ensure NDB’s future. We are proud and grateful to pay it forward, and hope our mission of gratitude will inspire others to do the same,” shared Bob and Juliane.
