Estate Gift Ensures Bright Future
Like so many of her fellow alumni, Lynn Darling Hendershot ’66 treasures her memories of Beaver College, its sense of community, and the lasting friendships and life-changing opportunities she found here. Hendershot credits Beaver as the place where she, and so many others, developed a love of learning and a tenacious spirit. “I look back on my education at Beaver and consider those years to be a very formative time,” Hendershot says. “As a young woman, I learned to be independent, to realize my potential, and to act with confidence.”
For more than 50 years, out of gratitude for the strong foundation that Beaver College provided, Lynn has made her support of Arcadia a priority. “My decision to extend my commitment with a planned gift to Arcadia University represents both my deep appreciation for my own student experience and my excitement and belief in Arcadia’s bright future.”
With her charitable planned gift to Arcadia University, Lynn is honored as a donor of Arcadia’s Covenant Society–an honorary society which recognizes the generous donors who have made an extraordinary commitment to strengthen their own legacy while also bolstering the future of Arcadia.
Lynn knows this gift will strengthen her legacy as an alumna while also benefiting the students of tomorrow. “I hope to see more of my fellow alumni open their philanthropic hearts to support the growth and prosperity of our beloved alma mater in their estate plans. Arcadia will continue to be an exceptional institution for future generations, as long as we do our part in making this happen.”
Lynn resides with her husband, Alan, in Indian Wells, California. As a member of the Class of 1966, Lynn has been a generous donor for many years. Lynn also joins Arcadia’s leadership giving society, the Jones Poundstone Society.
