10,000 Degrees Legacy Society Members
Donors Since 2004

I have been extremely fortunate to know 10,000 Degrees as a scholarship recipient, supporter, donor and board member for over 25 years. During that time, I have watched the organization change the course of countless lives and entire families.

My family and I have supported the 10,000 Degrees community through its expansion deeper into the markets they serve, wider into more geographies and broader covering more secondary educational paths. The one element that has remained totally consistent throughout is the passion which 10,000 Degrees brings for educational opportunity—it drives unparalleled impact in our community.

We’ve been committed to supporting and investing in 10,000 Degrees for well over half my lifetime. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to continue that commitment with a planned gift in our estate. Giving back to our community is of paramount importance in our family. We can think of no better way to memorialize that value—and no better organization with which to partner.
