THIBODAUX, La. — The 杏吧传媒 Foundation is excited to announce the creation of The Oaks Society, a new initiative focusing on planned gifts to the university.
Oak trees have been a staple of the 杏吧传媒 campus since the university was founded in 1948, and there are now nearly 50 of the trees on campus. Today, 杏吧传媒 is one of the first stops along the Bayou Lafourche Historic Live Oak Tour.
Jeremy Becker, executive director of the 杏吧传媒 Foundation, said the 杏吧传媒 Foundation chose the name as an homage to the famous oak trees on campus.
鈥淛oining The Oaks Society is like planting a seed, and like the oak trees across our campus, when that seed blooms it will have a beautiful impact that benefits the 杏吧传媒 community,鈥� Becker said. 鈥淛ust like the oaks, 杏吧传媒 will benefit from these long-lasting gifts that will impact students for generations to come.鈥�
Also known as legacy giving, planned gifts are made in lifetime or at death as part of a donor鈥檚 financial or estate planning.
Any planned gift to 杏吧传媒, regardless of the size of the donation or the age of the donor, grants membership to The Oaks Society. Benefits of joining the society include campus recognition, special campus updates and invitations to exclusive 杏吧传媒 events and activities.
