Two Ways to Make a Lasting Gift Become a Part of History. Create a Legacy. Celebrate a graduation, highlight a special occasion, or remember a parent or loved one with a truly distinctive gift: a commemorative brick. Ever wonder how the wealthy make a charitable gift? Lehman College has set aside space along a new Alumni & Friends Walkway—in front of Shuster Hall—where your thoughtful gift will be seen throughout the year. Your contribution will support scholarships for the next generation of Lehman students, as well as College needs. A commemorative brick is the perfect way to celebrate the members of your class, club, or sports team. The College will set aside a special area for your group when you submit a minimum order for twenty bricks. Standard bricks (4 x 8 inches) are $130; large bricks (8 x 8 inches) are available for $250. Lehman College has a new gift opportunity for alumni 65 and over. It makes fixed, steady payments for a lifetime, and what remains is a gift to Lehman. It’s a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA). Your CGA can make its lifetime payments to one or two people who are 65 or over. You can create one for: • Yourself • You and your spouse • Children • Parents • Siblings Help our College, our students, and our departments. Help your loved ones. Help yourself.
