Upstate Legacy Society

The Upstate Legacy Society honors donors who have chosen to include Upstate in their estate plans. Members of the Society come from all walks of life. They are school bus drivers, engineers, teachers, business executives, nurses, doctors and retired faculty. These generous and forward thinking donors share the common goal of ensuring Upstate’s ability to provide exemplary patient care, conduct world-class research, and attract and retain the very best students, faculty and staff. As well as impact the health and well-being of our community.

12th annual Upstate Legacy Society holds a virtual gathering!

The Upstate Foundation recently hosted its annual meeting for members of the Upstate Legacy Society. Historically an in-person luncheon, members gathered via Zoom for an update by Mantosh Dewan, MD, president of Upstate Medical University, and Sharon Brangman, MD, chair of the Department of Geriatrics, distinguished service professor and director of Upstate Center for Excellence for Alzheimer’s Disease.

Life and Legacy

Donors used a variety of planned giving options to create their personal legacy gift with the Upstate Foundation. Legacy gifts are coming from bequests, IRAs, life insurance and charitable trusts, helping to grow funds and endowments to create a perpetual stream of support. Each legacy gift provides a meaningful and lasting impact on the people and communities served by Upstate.
