"My family is one of many claiming three generations of Saint Vincent graduates. My father, John, C'37, daughter, Kim, C'07, son, Mike, C'11, as well as son-in-law, Matt Feigel, C'08, and daughter-inlaw, Katie Macioce, C'10, are proud Bearcats. We are hoping one or more of my four grandchildren extends us to four generations. My late wife, Leslie, valiantly received her degree later in life from Seton Hill University.

"My dedication to Saint Vincent is rooted not in my years as a student, but in my years as a parent. I saw my children receive a quality education, saw them grow socially as active participants in campus activities, and I saw their Catholic faith strengthened under the influence of the Benedictines. Now as a member of the College Board of Directors, I am able to see the foundation is in place for a better Saint Vincent far into the future."
The strong commitment of John Stevens recently resulted in his establishing a named scholarship for needy students at the college. Additionally, to strengthen that fund in the future, John has made an estate gift in his will.
There are many important ways to financially support Saint Vincent. The most familiar is with gifts of cash, check or appreciated securities.

There are also ways to show support that has a lasting impact that may be beneficial to you, your family and Saint Vincent. A planned gift can potentially reduce or eliminate long-term capital gains tax, provide current income tax deductions or even increase your income.

A variety of estate planning vehicles is available, and the planned giving team at Saint Vincent will work with you and your advisers, to create the best possible gift that honors your intentions and the needs of the college.
When you are ready to begin the process, give us a call. I am available to talk or visit with you at any time. Thanks for your interest in the college. Future generations of students will benefit from the creation of a legacy gift by you.
