Planned giving helps fuel Stockton’s mission
A gift in your will creates a foundation for the future. By supporting our work today, you help prepare students and ensure the same opportunities are available for the next generation of Ospreys.
I am so grateful for my Stockton experience that really helped shape most of the successes I’ve had in life from the friendships made to career opportunities. Part of that gratitude is to leave a legacy behind. That is why I’ve chosen to include Stockton as a part of my estate planning and to leave something behind to our university that has done so much for us. I’ve always listed Stockton as a partial beneficiary on my 401K account in addition to money I will leave for my family because, to me, Stockton IS family. I encourage all my fellow Ospreys to update their giving to leave behind something for a place that has been so special to all of us. We use the expression ‘Osprey For Life’ but by Including Stockton in your planned giving helps you to remain an ‘Osprey Forever’.
