Dan & Marilyn Lightfoot When youthful and outgoing retirees Dan and Marilyn Lightfoot of Hudson recently began discussing how they wished to allocate their assets in their will, they knew that something would go to higher education and research. Coming from modest backgrounds, neither had the opportunity to go to college. In spite of this, they were able to work hard and were rewarded with a certain level of career success, Dan in the printing industry and Marilyn at Ecolab in St. Paul. With today’s fast paced and highly competitive job market, they know that such trajectories are now rare, if not impossible. Desirous of helping improve the field of eye health, something that has touched both Marilyn and Dan personally, they initially looked to UW-Madison’s Eye Research Institute as a beneficiary for their planned gift. While they concluded that they would support research at some level, they chose for the majority of their estate gift to benefit hardworking, undergraduate students from humble beginnings
