Friends of Park can secure their legacy in perpetuity by including the School in your estate and financial planning. When making a bequest or other planned gift, you are helping The Park School carry out its mission both now and in the future. A gift through your Will often allows you to support Park in a way that you may have thought was beyond your means. In addition, there are opportunities for life income gifts while also supporting Park. We would welcome the opportunity to have a confidential conversation to answer any questions.
Named for the year The Park School of Buffalo was founded, the 1912 Legacy Society recognizes and honors individuals who have included The Park School in their estate plans. Members of the Society include alumni, current and past parents, grandparents, faculty and staff members, trustees, and many others who care deeply about the future of The Park School. By telling us of your intention to support Park in perpetuity, you give us the opportunity to say thank you now. We are extremely grateful for the foresight and generosity of the members of the 1912 Legacy Society listed on this page.
