Legacy Society
The Legacy Society was established in 1983 to honor the generosity of alumni, parents, and friends who have named Ãå±±ÂÖ¼éas the ultimate beneficiary of a gift through their estate plans. Planned giving is a vote of confidence in Loyola’s ability to sustain its rich tradition of achievement and a sign of support for the many generations of students who will discover Loyola in years to come.
Jeannine and I have both benefited from scholarships. We have found harmony and success, and we want to pay it forward. Our hope is that this tradition continues in the future. If you can change one person’s life by helping to fund their college education, do it."
