“Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.” – Shannon L. Alder
When Dr. John Fitz Alan Howard founded the National College of Chiropractic (NCC) in 1906, he bequeathed a legacy to chiropractors and their patients for future generations. Over time, others have fortified the University's legacy by remembering National University in their estate plans. These individuals, who have included their alma mater in their estate planning, are honored and recognized members of The 1906 Society.
Your legacy encompasses your lifetime of relationships, accomplishments, truths and values, and lives on in those whose lives you have touched. It is the meaning in the story of your life through a process of review, summarizing, and giving back.
Joining The 1906 Society is as easy as making a charitable bequest in your will or living trust to include National University. By becoming a member of The 1906 Society, your gift will provide you with financial benefits and emotional satisfaction. Your gift is a lasting tribute!
Did you know:
• Planning a gift through your will may allow you to make a larger gift than you can during your lifetime.
• There are many options to ensure that your bequest is personally meaningful.
Your bequest ensures that the meaning you found in your life is never lost.
