We thank all our planned-gift donors for their generous support. Here are some of their stories.
"To young alumnae, I would say that you shouldn't wait to have a will and that remembering Bryn Mawr in your will can be very easy, whether the amount or percentage you are bequeathing is small or large. I would also say that planned giving is not just for the rich; it is for anyone who wishes to express gratitude for her experiences and learning at Bryn Mawr, even if the size of the gift is modest."
"The future of Bryn Mawr is something that is very much top of mind for me. I see my gift as an expression of hope and faith in the school. When I'm long gone from this world, I'd like Bryn Mawr to still be in it – living and thriving and educating wonderful girls."
"The richness of my friendships, the devotion of our teachers to the highest academic standards, the long history and traditions that we were a part of have always been a part of me. Bryn Mawr has become even stronger in many ways since my time there. I hope that including Bryn Mawr in my estate plans will help other families give this wonderful experience to their daughters."
"In addition to expressing my thanks to Bryn Mawr, my gift is in honor of Raymond Smith. Though not related, he was a much loved part of our family. Raymond didn't have the advantage of an education like ours. A bequest is a wonderful way not only to honor the school but to recognize someone in your life whom you especially valued and loved."
