The Legacy Circle
The Legacy Circle was created to recognize and honor those individuals who have acted to provide support that will ensure the Academy’s future through bequests in wills or trusts, life income gifts, retirement plans, life insurance designations, and other vehicles. The School publicly recognizes members who have given permission to list their names. Some members wish to remain anonymous and Holy Cross respects their wishes.
If you have decided to include The Academy of the Holy Cross in your estate plans, please let us know. We would like to thank you for your generosity, make sure the purpose of your gift is understood by the Academy, and include you as a member of the Legacy Circle.
To find out more about joining the Legacy Circle, please contact Charly Ryan, Director of Philanthropy and Stewardship at 301-929-6447 or cryan@academyoftheholycross.org or download the planned giving form, complete and return to the Advancement Office.
