Members of the 1856 Legacy Society were honored at a luncheon in May. Following the luncheon, a financial planning seminar was presented by Jesse Thomas ’99, vice president of AXA Advisors.

The 1856 Legacy Society is comprised of individuals who have made planned gifts to Albright College through bequests, charitable trust, gift annuities, life insurance, remainder interest in property or retirement funds. Planned gifts have been an integral part of advancement at Albright for more than 100 years and have become an increasingly important source of the College’s quality growth.

In recent years, dozens of planned gifts by alumni and friends have endowed scholarships, provided campus renovations, and supported Library acquisitions.
