Pay It Forward — Bequest

Pay It Forward — Bequest

Brian Smigelski '84

I could not have afforded Lawrence without significant financial aid. That is why I decided to pay it forward and joined the Lawrence-Downer Legacy Circle. Legacy Circle is a group of alumni who have established a gift to Lawrence as part of their estate plan. It provides a flexible way to ensure the next generation has the opportunity to also experience a Lawrence education and all the lifelong benefits that go along with it.

If you are not already a member, please consider joining the Legacy Circle and help others experience the same life changing opportunities you received at Lawrence.
