Upstate Legacy Society

The Upstate Legacy Society is comprised of donors who care about Upstate Medical University and our surrounding community, who have left a gift from their will or from other estate assets to support a fund, program or service that is meaningful to them and close to their heart. For each individual or family, it is all about making an impact on the future and is a statement about the values important to them.

Annual luncheon featured a presentation on child & adolescent mental health

The Upstate Legacy Society’s annual luncheon returned to an in-person meeting at The Century Club in 2022. The 14th annual event featured Dr. Wanda Fremont, a professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Upstate Medical University, who shared what Upstate is experiencing regarding the mental health issues of children and adolescents in our community. Dr. Fremont noted that the mental health of children and adolescents has become so concerning that the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the Children’s Hospital Association has declared it a national emergency.

This gathering of like-minded supporters generated much synergy among members happy to see each other again and meet new friends!

Life and Legacy

Legacy gifts come in all sizes and from a wide range of vehicles. While leaving a gift from your will is still one of the most popular options, gifts are also given from retirement accounts, IRAs, life insurance, charitable trusts, donor-advised funds, charitable gift annuities, bank accounts and trusts. If you have been supporting a fund or endowment at Upstate, or would like to open a fund, consider a legacy gift to support what has been meaningful to you during your lifetime.
