Our Mission
A Foundation of Excellence — Bequest
As I find myself closer to the end of my career than the beginning, I often look back and evaluate what experiences in my life were the most enriching. Always, my years at Lawrence are at the top of the list. I have been blessed with much good fortune and it is with great purpose that I feel I should try and help future generations receive the same foundation of excellence that Lawrence gave to me. Lawrence taught me critical thinking that served me extremely well throughout my journey. I was fortunate enough to make lifelong friendships that neither time nor distance have been able to diminish.
Joining Lawrence-Downer Legacy Circle is our way to provide for the school through our estate. To help do this, several years ago Marie and I decided to make a provision for Lawrence in our wills. It is our way to pay it forward. Whether you currently have a will or are just considering getting one started, it is very easy to make a provision for Lawrence. It will only take a few minutes to commit and those few minutes can turn into a lifetime benefit for a future Lawrentian.
Lawrence-Downer Legacy Circle
