Pacer Establishes Enduring Legacy

AIKEN, SC (06/22/2018) One young professional is so grateful to the University of South Carolina Aiken for the difference it made in his life that he decided to help ensure it continues to transform students' lives in the future.

An already generous donor to the university, Cody Anderson was recently inducted into USC Aiken's Legacy Society, which honors those alumni and friends who have included the university in their estate plans. Anderson, who attended USC Aiken, is a funeral director at historic George Funeral Home in town.

"Membership in this special group signals a continuing commitment to ensure the university's endowment and more importantly, someone's legacy, with our institution," said Mary Driscoll, vice chancellor for advancement and external affairs.

"Planned giving opportunities not only benefit USC Aiken but also provide benefits to donors and their loved ones in the form of tax incentives, income during retirement years, and a number of other advantages."

USC Aiken offers an array of planned gifts including bequests, life insurance, gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, or IRA distributions. Since the inception of the Legacy Society, approximately 70 members have created student scholarships, endowed faculty chairs, underwritten academic programs, and helped with building projects.

Dr. Sandra Jordan, chancellor, says that the generosity of USC Aiken Legacy Society members, like Anderson, will continue to educate and inspire future generations of students and leaders.
