Coach Miller Bugliari ’52 Establishes a Charitable Gift Annuity at Pingry. Miller Bugliari ’52, P ’86, ’90, ’97, has announced that he is establishing a charitable gift annuity at Pingry in honor of his 50 years as a teacher and coach. This annuity will provide a generous gift to the School, while also providing lifetime income for both him and his wife Elizabeth. Coach Bugliari, the school’s most senior faculty member, made this gift to the school to recognize all that Pingry has done for him and his fellow alumni during his years as a student, teacher, and coach. “This is my way of thanking Pingry and showing my loyalty to the school,” he says. Coach Bugliari entered Pingry in Grade 2 and has now served as a Pingry faculty member and coach for over 50 years. “As a student, Pingry gave me a fine background for any profession I could have chosen to pursue. As a faculty member and coach, Pingry has supported my career and allowed me to continue to work with the youth of today in various forms,” he says. Miller also serves as Special Assistant to the Headmaster, a role that was created just for him. When he learned of Miller’s Gift Annuity, Headmaster Nat Conard P ’09, ’11 said, “Miller is a living legend here at Pingry—his wisdom and his work as an advisor and a coach are invaluable to us all every day. This gift is another way that Miller will leave a lasting legacy here at Pingry for generations to come—for that we are very, very grateful.” Coach Bugliari hopes his annuity will strengthen the school’s robust financial aid program and help with faculty development and retention, and he urges other alumni to make a gift of their own. “I am honored to have been part of this wonderful school and grateful to be able to give something back,” he says. Anyone age 65 or older may establish a charitable gift annuity at Pingry with a gift of $10,000 or more. Pingry then pays you, or one other beneficiary of your choice, fixed income for life with the remaining balance transferring to Pingry.
