It’s Never too Early - or too Late to make a deferred gift commitment to Lawrenceville Robert Arnold ’47 had little connection with Lawrenceville, or his class, for most of his life. He lived in Seattle – almost as far away geographically as one could get in the continental U.S. But a visit six years ago from the Head Master and his friendship with his financial advisor, Robert Lipman ’73, eventually caused him to realize how much Lawrenceville had influenced his life. Bob created a substantial charitable gift annuity with Lawrenceville a few years ago, and shortly thereafter returned to campus for his very first visit since he graduated. Sadly, Bob died recently, but the remaining proceeds of his gift annuity will establish a legacy in his name that will benefit future generations of Lawrentians in perpetuity. Lawrenceville is very grateful to Robert.

Tom Tesauro ’08, on the other hand, grew up in Lawrenceville and has readily embraced the campus and culture his entire life. The newest and youngest member of the John Cleve Green Society, Tom says, “Lawrenceville’s resources afforded me with opportunities I never thought possible, for which I’m extremely grateful. There are so many teachers and coaches that I owe for their guidance and support.” Tom went on to Villanova where he received a scholarship to play baseball. A finance major, Tom now works for Goldman Sachs in NYC, and recently named Lawrenceville as beneficiary of a portion of his life insurance. Tom says “The least I could do is pay it forward to, in my opinion, the best institution on earth.”
