FORT MYERS, Fla. (Jan. 27, 2015) – As part of its “Legacy Society In Gratitude” event, the Southwest Florida Community Foundation recently hosted fund holders, donors and supporters at the Community Hub at the Foundation office on Jan. 18.
Legacy Society members enjoyed a reception followed by the Rat Pack concert by the Gulf Coast Symphony at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall.
Legacy Society members include any individual who has established an endowed fund, made a one-time gift or informed the Community Foundation that, upon his or her passing, a gift will be established. Being a member of the SWFLCF’s Legacy Society provides opportunities for meeting other supporters of the Community Foundation and developing new friendships.
