Meet donors

Theresa J. Canada '76, '89EdD

My mother Mildred has provided me with love and support during my entire life. On the occasion of her 52nd wedding anniversary, I was delighted to discover that purchasing a charitable gift annuity for her was a wonderful way to express my love for and appreciation to her, as well as to make a gift to the Warner School of Education and Human Development.

Through the use of a charitable gift annuity, I was able to combine the benefits of a good income-tax deduction, and an attractive income return to my mother, which was not available in any other way.

I presented my mother with her new gift annuity on the day of her wedding anniversary celebration, a very happy experience for both of us.
