Marlborough School Receives a Monumental $9 Million Gift

1/15/20—Marlborough School received a $9 million bequest from the late Eunice Erb Goodan, an alumna from the Class of 1943, which is the largest gift in the school’s 132-year history. Eunice’s connection to Marlborough ran deep with her mother, sister-in-law, and daughter all be fellow alumnae. She served as a Trustee, Alumna Council Member, Board President, and benefactor who gave generously to the school’s annual fund and capital projects. 

The gift will enhance the school’s endowment and impact students for many generations to come. Throughout her lifetime, Eunice’s support exemplified her desire for Marlborough to be, as she said, “the best school it can be.” 

Head of School Dr. Priscilla Sands expressed, “We will forever hold Eunice’s words and generosity—both in service and in philanthropy—as an inspiration for our work.”
