    Fulcrum Foundation's Legacy Luncheon

    Dear Fulcrum friend,
    Happy Easter!

    Thank you to all who joined us at the 3rd annual Legacy Luncheon last Friday at the Seattle Tennis Club. More than seventy supporters of Catholic education were in attendance. A number of the guests were Legacy Society members, having notified Fulcrum that they have included a future gift to the Foundation in their estate plans.
    The program focused on the role of planned gifts in the Fulcrum Foundation's ability to strengthen and expand its assistance to students and schools. Attorney ReneeRyan of Perkins Coie LLP presented some considerations to make in planning gifts.
    The highlight of the event was a presentation by three Kennedy Catholic High School students who spoke about importance of tuition assistance to their families, and the rewards of making Catholic education accessible to motivated students such as themselves. In all, ten Kennedy Catholic students joined us for lunch and visited with the other guests at their table.
    The luncheon concluded with a rousing and inspirational performance by the Assumption-St. Bridget School Choir. Looking at the youthful and joyous talent of the ensemble, attendees were reenergized in their support of Catholic education.
